Earth Talk: Veggie Fuel Retraction

I wrote an article in the last Rising Firefly Magazine about the use of vegetable oil as an alternative to the use of petroleum-based diesel fuel. This is done with a two-tank fuel system. While the idea has been proven to work in certain applications, I am sorry to say that my experiment with it has been unsuccessful in my personal tests over a long-term period. When I made the modification on my car, I drove it problem-free for 15,000 miles on vegetable oil. It was during this period that I wrote the previous article championing its success. I feel that it is my responsibility to correct the statements I made in the last article in order to protect anyone from suffering the same financial loss as I did from using a two-tank vegetable oil system in combination with the car that I installed it on.
