Just to be clear:

Added lubricity may help a diesel engine run smoother/quieter.
Organic emissions??? Let's hope not. Organic emissions from
combustion
would be unburned hydrocarbons ..... not desirable.

Alternative fuel addition???
Propane is a specific gas refined from natural gas. Natural gas is a
mix of
gases that includes methane.
Both produce the same emissions.
Natural gas contains methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, and so,
would be very
harmful to the environment if released unburned.
Propane is more energy-dense.
Natural gas is generally cheaper per BTU.
Which is preferable? If cost and availability aren't issues, propane
gets the nod
because it is less harmful to the environment if released unburned.
Great to hear that The Cheese Guy is going green.
Waste veg oil to biodiesel -----> fuel that emits lower levels of
Carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, and fewer organics (unburned
hydrocarbons); all good.
The Carbon emitted as carbon dioxide when BD is burned is part of
the current carbon
cycle (good) vs petro diesel which emits carbon that has been
sequestered for millions of years,
overwhelming the current cycling process and thus contributing to
global warming (bad).
i.e. Biodiesel is an appropriate alternative to petro diesel for a
number of very real
reasons. + Waste veg oil is an appropriate feedstock for BD
production.
Appropriate technology. Economy of scale.
Sort of a JtF mantra.

Biodiesel, Solar Turn Cheese Guy’s Truck Green
Posted on November 11, 2014 by John Davis
A food truck entrepreneur known for his cheese is turning his
vehicle – not his cheese – green using biodiesel and solar power.
This news release posted on EIN News says Oklahoma-based Wil Braggs,
aka “The Cheese Guy,” has started a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign
to help him buy a brand new gourmet green energy food truck called
the Mean Green Purple Machine.
This truck is intended to be powered by solar generated energy.
Sunlight is free obviously and solar power is an effective, simple
and often overlooked energy choice. The Cheese Guy is committed to
implementing solar inverter technology in order to charge batteries
with sunlight. A new food truck would enable The Cheese Guy to
utilize solar power for the brand new Mean green purple machine.
Another form of alternative energy is biodiesel which is formed from
vegetable oil. Biodiesel is quieter than traditional fuel and only
has organic emissions. The Cheese Guy intends to use biodiesel from
recycled plant oil to run their engine and also their generator. This
would be the first true biodiesel powered food truck. It is this
groundbreaking innovation that has the ability to change the thinking
of food truck owners everywhere.
Another alternative fuel addition The Cheese Guy wants to make is
replacing propane with natural gas.

The Cheese Guy, Reshaping the Food Truck Industry
TULSA, OKLAHOMA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/
-- Wil Braggs, who is otherwise known as The Cheese Guy, is an
experienced food truck entrepreneur with over 10 years of kitchen and
hospitality service experience. This experience includes cooking,
serving, bartending and hosting various events. Currently Wil is
focused on changing the perception of the food truck business. There
is a reputation among the food truck industry that the trucks are
dirty and wasteful. The Cheese Guy is dedicated to green initiatives.
There are many ways in which The Cheese Guy plans to make his truck
run more efficiently. This focus on green and renewable energy has
the dual benefit of offering a lower cost means of business operation
and being beneficial for the environment. These efficiency
improvements include the building of a completely new truck which is
based on renewable energy. This truck is intended to be powered by
solar generated energy. Sunlight is free obviously and solar power is
an effective, simple and often overlooked energy choice. The Cheese
Guy is committed to implementing solar inverter technology in order
to charge batteries with sunlight. A new food truck would enable The
Cheese Guy to utilize solar power for the brand new Mean green purple
machine. Another form of alternative energy is biodiesel which is
formed from vegetable oil. Biodiesel is quieter than traditional fuel
and only has organic emissions. The Cheese Guy intends to use
biodiesel from recycled plant oil to run their engine and also their
generator. This would be the first true biodiesel powered food truck.
It is this groundbreaking innovation that has the ability to change
the thinking of food truck owners everywhere. This influence is
possible in part because these changes are easy to do. Another
innovation is the use of natural gas as an alternative fuel to
propane. Once again natural gas tanks are cheaper in the long run
anyway. The Cheese Guy is even dedicated using recycled organic
products whenever possible even using straws made out of corn.
The Cheese Guy features an extensive menu of traditional grill and
international favorites. Some of the menu items include fried
mozzarella sticks, wontons, smoked chicken, egg rolls and bacon
wrapped stuffed jalapenos. The truck has now introduced slow cooked
Caribbean cuisine in addition to their Tex-Mex style food. They have
also worked to incorporate food which is gluten free as well as some
vegetarian friendly options. The Cheese Guy is a self-made culinary
scientist, do it yourself engineer and even a good entertainer as
part of providing superior customer service. The truck is known
throughout Tulsa as a purveyor of delicious food and the best fusion
cuisine Tulsa has ever seen.
The Cheese Guy already caters to private events like weddings and
other major events. The atmosphere they provide is very fun and
friendly including upbeat music. This is made possible because of the
fun hard working group of professionals that are part of The Cheese
Guy team. This experienced group of cooks and customer service staff
are driven to cultivate a vibrant, family and professional community.
This experienced group brings an extensive amount of expertise in
their specialized fields. This enables The Cheese Guy to provide
mobile food services and volunteering for a wide area in both Tulsa
and the surrounding communities.
There is a current Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign which will run
until November 13th for The Cheese Guy. This campaign is taking place
to assist the business with purchasing a brand new gourmet green
energy food truck called the Mean Green Purple Machine. The Cheese
Guy has affiliated with professional truck builder Prestige Food
Trucks. Prestige, who are attempting to get a special on The Food
Network, will have the opportunity to construct a custom built
catering kitchen for The Cheese Guy.
• $1 – You will receive project updates
• $10 – Fee appetizer
• $25 – A feature monthly food item will be named after you
• $50 – A custom dinner for two

people.
