RE: Can Diesel engines run on Vegetable oil? Let's find out.

Great post man.

The increasing inclination of the world (well, developed country anyway) towards green technology is cool and I can see more advancement coming with time.

However, what about cost? Don't you think the cost of production of bio-diesel and coupled with relative abundance could be a factor that is slowing down its popularity. By the way, I am not aware of the cost of producing the conventional diesel.

Great work once again.

Sort:  

The cost of production is truly a factor. One of the reasons it has not gotten so much attention. Overall, diesel fuel seems to be more cost effective than bio-diesel.
until there is a way to cover for that, it might not get accepted fully. however, the fact that there is something else we can use in place of diesel fuel is amazing.
