Veggie Fuelled Cars You Cant be Serious

Oh! But I am serious, and its all happening. Could this be D-Day for Petrol and Black Oil fuelled Wars?Perhaps not, using recycled vegetable oil as fuel for car engines might not form a major or the biggest

invasion of the Petrol Industry, but if it became big it is likely to be sat on by the powers that be supporting theBlack Oil Economy, although from an Environmental and waste not, want not stand-point it is something to

be taken seriously, implemented and developed.

It could solve a few oily problems in London. For example, Soho and Leicester Squares Restaurants literally

clog the drains with fat. Londons underground infra structure is groaning with age and rising high populationusage. The London sewer system was founded by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, follow The Great Stink of 1858,

when the stench of sewage discharged to the Thames forced Parliament to rise. Nowadays, what is happeningunseen below nose level, beneath feet level, is something that could benefit at least diesel engines if collected

and converted into environmentally-friendly fuel for cars.

The 100 tonnes of cooking fat poured down Thames Water's sewer network each year quickly solidifies and has to be

removed, often by hand, at an annual cost of 7 million. The high concentration of food outlets makes Soho a particular

problem area - it once it took the flushers eight weeks to remove a solid 150-foot slug of fat beneath Leicester Square.1

People may be skeptical about the first car engine invented to run on water (1936 USA, 1938 UK), a little

matter we dont hear about, or car engines running on Zero-Point Energy2, or are not able to encompass themechanics and applications of them to utilize such information.

However, did you know that Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on vegetable oil? In 1912 he said: The

use of vegetable oils may seem insignificant today but they may in time become every bit as important aspetrol.

Although using vegetable oil for fuel is not a brand new concept, Rapeseed oil underwent a local public

transport trial in Reading, Berkshire, by buses not too long ago. In South Wales January 2003, Supermarketswere first to be put on alert that sudden rises in sales of cooking oil were not suspect, but more a case of Not

Fry, But Drive! 3 In Canada, one report in a Canadian paper talked of Law Enforcement Officers doing round-the-clock stakeouts in the aisles of Asda that netted a couple buying 100 litres of oil at a time and werenicknamed the Frying Squad!

Affects are being seen in America today: In Weston, Connecticut, USA, car owners grappling with pumped-up

petrol prices are turning to their favourite restaurants for recycled vegetable oil. One lady solved the problem byfortnightly forays to her local Chinese restaurant to fuel her Volkswagen Jetta. She collects a few buckets of

used oil, uses a colander and a bag filter to remove water and any food particles. The resulting oil is poured intoa 15 gallon tank in the back of her Jetta and via a button fixed above the radio, she switches from diesel to

vegetable oil in seconds. In this neck of the woods, restaurants have to pay to get rid of their old vegetable oiand so are happy to give it away for free! Another restaurant co-owner uses it, and yet another collecting around

30-40 gallons twice a month from the same restaurant, who drives long distances said: The only way I canassuage my guilt by drivingthisawful distance is by drivingsomethingthatisnt consuming fossil fuelsand has

much more environmentally friendly emissions.4

So, the run on cooking-oil for Biomass Energy is obviouslyseriously well underway in other parts of the world.

Then again, it was Astrologer Johnathan Cainer in July of last year, On The Road to Clean Air, having met

Daniel Blackhurn of The Low Impact Living Initiative (LILI) who runs courses on the subject, who helpedmake some important simple practical issues clear.

Yes, you can use ordinary vegetable oil, the kind you fry chips in, but it only works in diesel engines. It doesntharm the engine or spoil the performance. It will work with oil thats been used for frying, provided it is

filtered.

If you want to use unused oil and buy it from the Supermarket, you wont get clobbered by the law if you paytax on it. The way the law stands, you are supposed to declare every drop you use for driving and then pay 26p

per litre to the Government. As long as you do that, they cant touch you! This does not entail reams ofpaperwork either, call 0845-010-9000 for the appropriate simple Form. This means you will still pay less tax

than on the garage forecourt, as normal Diesel fuel is taxed at 40p per litre.

COMMENT: So why is not every Local Authority creating a special team of used oil collectors to service allrestaurants and building central refineries for recycling this wonderful gunge of used oil from Restaurants all

over the country to sell to the public not happening? Existing garages could be used as depots. Who knows,such an organized effort for profit could help reduce the rises in your Council Tax!

Remember if you are thinking about getting a diesel engine: Running a car on vegetable oil is green, clean andNOT illegal as long as you declare every litre you use and pay tax on it. You can re-use old cooking oil if you

filter it first. Its better to put processed hydrogenated oil and trans-fatty acids into your engine than into yourstomach! your car engine wont know the difference.

Dont let the GM-Protagonists use this oil for fuel innovation as an excuse to lumber us with GM-Rapeseed

oil, there has already been a large scale accident with Scottish farmers in May 2000 unknowingly growingGenetically Modified (GM) crops after planting cross-pollinated oilseed rape from Canada, which occurred in

France, Germany and Sweden also The seed supplied by Advanta Seeds, which is a joint venture betweenAnglo-Swedish group AstraZeneca Plc and Cosun, a Dutch co-operative.

The Government advised farmers who accidentally planted GM cops to destroy them or dispose of them after

they had been harvested. Others rightly suggested they be dug up, as leaving them till after pollination is likeDisaster written on the Wind!

7

Scientists have already found strong evidence that GM crops can spread long distances from where they have been planted and spawn superweeds it blows into neighbouring farms and different GM strain can

interbreed, producing superweeds that are resistant to a wide range of herbicides.6

This produces transgenicweeds.

Rape is a good name for Rapeseed, Canola, Colza, Oil-seed Rape (Brassica napus:Brassicaceae), for while

the UK Govt. is promoting 5-a-day fruit and vegetables to get the population into better healthy eating tocombat the over-weight and obesity epidemic, Rape belongs to the same family as anticarinogenic broccoli and

other cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage, all of which have the potentiato cross with mutants of the same order or genetic family. Our health may indeed be raped by the adoption of

GM crops that interfere with our natural first line of defence against all ills, the Food Medicine in our daily

diets.
