how in God's green earth do you have a biodiesel vehicle. I need to hear more. Did you do it yourself or are they out there. I am so interested...

I assume this is a long-delayed follow-up to a two-year-old comment by mcbrew, which was relevant to fuel consumption measurement.

Many members of this forum are interested in diesel engines, but they have nothing to do with the Smallest Car that can tow, so how about making these posts a separate thread?

Done.

Some people even scavenge free used vegetable oil from restaurants, filter it, and burn it in their diesels.
