P.S. I'm also curious (although, frankly, it's not that high on my list)


about whether a diesel engine could run alternative fuels like
restaurant grease or the other "green" substitutes for diesel AND about


other hams who have actually done it.


Biodiesel - all the buses here run that. Exhaust smells like
French-fries!


Yes, but can a /generator/ run it? What are the upsides and downsides?

P.S. Jay Leno remarked that even though Willy Nelson converted his tour
bus to biodiesel, police sniffer dogs were still chasing it, so it
probably didn't smell like French fries.
