Agree it is a great idea. If I could make it for my pickup, I would do it... >The price of biodiesel here in Abilene, Texas is running $3.99 per gallon, which is way more than the $3.29 per gallon for regular gas. >Supply and demand economics is putting pressure on biodiesel; because, the harsh winter in the USA this year used greater than normal >quantities of home heating oil, which is essential diesel.

I'm hoping the price of >gasoline and diesel will eventual seek price parity as extreme winter conditions and startup cost to make clean diesel moderate. The gas station near me just went up yesterday from $3.99 to $4.05 for diesel. I was talking to a neighbor and he said back in the day they used to use kerosene which was even cheaper than diesel and oil mixture. Might be something to look into... David L.
