I agree with you, Pierre. If biodiesel is processed correctly, the remaining methanol should be stripped during the wash phases, so you can legally state that it will not be used for on road purposes. --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would spin it this way: I am

I am poring over the specs on a singleor dual tank system to run WVO. Anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a tank to fit in the spare tire well? I have a 2000 Golf and thought this would be a good idea, as it would not take up the cargo/trunk areas in eithe Golfs or sedans like Jettas, etc.
