hello. i watched a video a year or 2 ago about a woman who put veggie oil into her jetta with no engine converter. does anyone in here have any info about putting veggie into a car like a honda civic. the woman said in the video, veggie cleans ur car out and it doesnt hurt the car. i dont have a car but when i do, i want to put veggie oil into the car. ive heard time and time again that u dont need an engine converter for veggie oil being put into ur car. what is true about this? i heard different things from different ppl yet i dont see anything factual about putting veggie oil into a car with an engine converter.

i was wondering does anyone know? can someone give me some links?

    My friend drives his diesel pickup on 100% veggie. He did the conversion himself and I have helped him recover used oil from restaurants. He has told me a diesel engine without any conversion can run up to, but not over, 1/2 veggie to diesel. The V.oil must be clean so if you are to recycle waste oil, you need to filter it then boil out the moisture. There are kits for doing this. A colder environment can coagulate the V.oil so it is best to use in a warmer environment if you don't have a conversion kit with all the bells & whistles including a pre-heater for the fuel.

        Open up channels with grease kings for starters. Perhaps they can direct you to someone more local if that becomes necessary?
        Try the link I gave for them and see if you can get a discussion going. You're at a point where it's time to talk with the pros.
        Good luck with this! I'd like to hear how things go.
