Well, there not into it for the money that's for sure. I don't know as I 
haven't gotten the book. I would imagine that it explains the process 
and gives one all the info to get started including a nice bibliography.

The couple is interested in sustainable practice - not in making money. 
If I had thought they were into money, I would not have mentioned 
anything.

Further, I know there have been many alternative fuel engines but this 
one in particular caught my eye because they didn't have to change 
anything on the motor and figured out an easy way to process the veg 
oil for use in the motor. Plus, it uses a by product and the by product 
is useable.
But, I didn't mean to start an alternative fuel discussion although I 
love it.  I just wanted to know about what diesels would mate with my 
trucks so I could maybe explore further. And I gave a pinch of 
background so ya'll would know where I was coming from.

I don't want to get in trouble again;)  But the fact remains that if I can't 
find a way to drive my classic trucks with a clean fuel, then I won't be 
keeping them forever.  Sure I love them and would love to use them for 
the duration but I can't work for clean air, water and food (which is 
everyones interest no doubt - even those rock hard anti 
environemtalists.  I am not liberal - I am American and I want America 
to stay beautiful - period!) while spewing dirty exhaust.  As I said in 
an earlier post several months ago, horses may be my option in the 
future;)  At least they are easy to start on cold mornings, produce a 
new "model" every couple of years if I want and give me precious 
manure cycling from crop to barn back to crop!  Plus they are the 
ultimate 4x4! Now that's cool.  I don't think I will like solar cars too 
much.  I was born 20 years too late and missed the good ole days of 
no concern and over consumption.
