WVO/ veggie oil to gasoline alternative

[res0wc18]

so this may sound crazy but its fact so please take it seriously.

When i was a kid the local public station (KCTS Seattle) had one of these science for kids/teens shows on and i cannot recall what the heck it was called but anyways they took brand new veggie oil of the store shelf and made "an emergency gasoline alternative" by blending it in a blender with some common chemicals and then proceeded to pour it in an fj62 land cruiser and it ran without issue!


For the life of me i cannot find this video anywhere on the net etc. But me and my cousin distinctly remember it when we were kids watching it.

Anyone have an idea what im talking about?

I think that was about running veggie oil in a diesel, not a petrol engine.

This requires virtually nothing except heating the oil with an inline fuel pipe heater. Some people start the engine on regular diesel fuel and switch over when it is hot.

If you are sure that the article was about running a petrol engine, you could do worse than ask the question here:

They are running cars off discarded plastic buckets, and should know the answer. (Possibly some sort of distillation process).

no it definetly was not a diesel engine as here in the usa the old fj's never came with diesels and i distinctly remember them saying gasoline alternative.


yes i have been WVO in my diesels for 7 years. this was a gas engine.
