Gah!! You're driving me insane, Robert. I thought I had made this
perfectly clear in my past posts.

There are NO block heaters! You don't plug the car in to keep the fuel
warm. You start the car on diesel. After a few minutes of driving the
veggie oil tank has been heated with waste heat from the engine. You
flip a switch and run on veggie oil. When you're close to your
destination, you switch back to diesel to make starting easier.

For crying out loud, go over to www.greasel.com and read about their
kits. It will take you all of 5 minutes and you won't have to continue
talking nonsense about block heaters and all of these other supposed
hassles that don't exist.

Who gives a shit about the idiot consumer? I certainly don't. I'm
looking for a viable solution for me, and people like me. I really
don't care about Joe Six Pack. He can pay $5 a gallon for gas in a few
years if he's too stupid to understand "diesel in this tank, veggie
oil in this one."
