You could then switch off between diesel and vegetable oil // biofuel (right?)

I really want to do this.
Hard to say exactly what the setup is by your description, but we have a little bit on some variations here. >>http://hypography.com/forums/enginee...ight=biodiesel

Problem that's cropping up now is that all the corn diverted to make biofuel is corn animals don't have to eat and so feed prices are going up and with it the cost of meat. Moreover, here in the NW, farmers cut back on hops acreage to plant biofuels and now there is a shortage of hops and beer prices are going up. One report said a sixer of microbrew may hit $12 US (not sure how many Ameros that is) That's all I got.
