Honda Civic -- able to convert to bio-diesal?

tell that to the guy that runs his car off old fry oil from fast food
joints. its legit, but the tinkering and crap involved to me wouldnt be
worth it.

btw- best bet would be to sell the civic, and get an old diesel rabbit.
theyre a dime a dozen, junkyards are full of em, and it would be the
ideal candidate for the tinkering, since its already designed to burn oil.

newer VWs burn oil regardless

 

The scale is all wrong for distribution as a fuel - a waste of time and may
need adjustments to diesel engines' fuel delivery and storage. Many
cooking oils also gum and lacquer very badly at even moderate temps.

Oh, but they are said to smell ever so good!

Some city north of San Francisco, CA converted their garbage truck fleet to
bio-diesel. There are storage issues, and filtering issues, but the
combination of "free" fuel, and pulling the oil out of the recycling stream
makes it viable, although at a financial loss compared to normal diesel.

You'd need to put a diesel engine in the car to run it on biodiesel.
