My question is simple to anyone who might know.

Can I use biodiesel in my ordinary diesel car? If so do I use it occasionally or all the time, and will it end up ruining my engine eventually?

Ask if you need to know anything becasue Im not sure of the technical stuff.

Cheers

Hi, best to check with your vehicle manufacturer. Some vehicles need different additives such as sulphur if they are over a certain age.

Biodiesel is manufactured from the dried feces of the helion fire ant found only in the mountainous region of the Gobi desert.
An arduous trek requiring the skill and temerity only the local peasants possess is needed to arrive at the ant hills, called bugaboos by the local populace.

At which point special protective clothing must be donned and a paste made of slug mucous and yak butter applied to the skin. Very slow procedure indeed as the mucous must be absolutly fresh or it won't be pungent enough to do the trick. And I'm sure you know just how little mucous the local slugs excrete. I do. I raise and sell them as pets. Both clean and quiet (most of the time) they make wonderful companions and can do all types of complicated tricks for the amusement of you and your friends. But they must be purchased in pairs otherwise they become lonely and therefore intractable. I sell them for $700.00 a pair, training manual $117.63 extra. Cash only please.

Thus prepared for the dangers that lie ahead, the courageous "ant hunters" set off in search of the wiley helion fire ant, considered by many to be man's most rapacious of all predators.

Swift, silent, and deadly. The hunters approach the bugaboos crawling on all fours, tweezers in hand ready to pounce at a moments notice. Once captured, (and it MUST be a male) the ants abdomin is then massaged slowly in a counterclockwise motion coaxing the excrement out of the tiny, rectum at the base of the neck. All in all about an hours time is needed per ant.

Considering a metric ton of the foul smelling paste is necessary to extract just one litre of diesel, it's a slow process and therefore an expensive product. But it makes the peasants so happy to be of service to you the petrol purchasing public.

Please check my personal profile page for information on how to order some slugs for yourself or as a memorable gift for family and friends. Also great for any bowel care program.

Bio-diesel is made from vegetable oil and yes you can use it in most diesel cars or trucks

And I thought it was made from fermented poor peoples food so all of us in the first world could drive around burning it and feeling like we had done something good for the planet!

E-dog, you seriously have too much time on your hands, love reading the results of that spare time. Dude, have you ever thought of doing a comedy act?

Two things: Never take anything E-Dog says seriously. And, the only problem you might have is if your fuel lines are rubber instead of synthetic or plastic. Biodiesel tends to eat through rubber hoses. It's easy for any backyard mechanic to replace the hoses. As for the engine, biodiesel is actually better for it (from what I’ve been told).

Biodiesel also coagulates in cold climates, you may have to add a fuel tank heater. I also believe there is a simple modification to the fuel delivery system as the Biodiesel is much more dense. You won't be able to use grease straight from a fryer, instead it must first be strained and refined. But a great option and the exhaust typically smells good!

I'm not sure that the fuel tank heater would be necessary for Lucydog's climate (you're in England, aren't you?). I believe they are only used in climates where it gets below freezing (like here in Michigan). I had a diesel back in the 80's and it didn't have a tank heater. As long as I kept the engine heater plugged in (these are standard I believe) I didn't have any problems. As long as you're going from petro-diesel to biodiesel you shouldn't have to worry about the tank.

What a foul, evil, horrific thing to say about such a kind, sweet, harmless old man who wants nothing more than to bring joy and happiness to an otherwise sad, depressed, overworked and underpaid group of gifted, loving, wonderful human beings.

Shame. Shame on you!

Now then. You gonna want four slugs, or will two do for now?
Keep in mind the gift giving capabilities these suckers have. You have grandchildren you know. Wouldn't you like to see their bright little smiles of delight as they open their little boxes of slugs?

Now obtainable on my new website-slugs for all.com

No kwag, I will not take any more of your checks as they bounce higher than a f*@king superball.
