Ever run a car on BioFuel?
I'm building a BioFuel plant and buying a Diesel car. Currently looking at a 2012 Passat TDI Sel. I like it's efficiency and it's actually very comfortable and roomy. Anyone have experience making BioFuel? I'm mostly going to be making it from wood.

My Dad bought a Jetta TDI that could run on grease, biofuel, etc. And what they say is true, it does smell like french fries all the time

Palm has a very high oil yield but it doesn't grow in new york. I could move to south america and grow it, open a few gas stations selling biofuel

I ran b20 in my H1. They can run B100 with zero modification if you can keep the temps up in the tank.

Unless you are 100% confident in your homebrewing abilities, don't run anything over what the manual suggests until your warranty has completed.

Exactly, imagine it smelling like French fries everywhere all the time. Originally Posted by 1stFeature
