Memories of thirty years ago, when I had a two-stroke Lambretta! We have to mix oil to the petrol in the engine. I once had to make do with sesame oil because I was “borrowing” some petrol we had at home and there was no oil handy. Was delicious to smell!!
My son is a diesel mechanic and converted his F350 to run on biofuel. Not only does it burn cleaner but it also runs much quieter that petroleum based diesel. Plus you get the bonus of it smelling like french fries when he goes by.
The only drawbacks are since there are so few locations where you can get biofuel, he has to carry the distillation / filter system in the bed of the truck, reducing cargo space, and the sludge when he cleans the filter (about every 200 gallons processed) smells like the bottom of a garbage can on a hot day.
Well, it’s used cooking oil that has been processed. Just pouring the contents of your grease trap into a vehicle (no matter what kind of engine you may have) is going to completely ruin it.

If I were Broomie, I’d be doing my best imitation of the Bandit right now. Put the pedal to the metal!

I was downwind of a Burger King that was being leveled after many years in business. The ghostly smell of burgers and fries filled the air for miles.

The engine has to be a diesel in order to be converted to biodiesel. Wont work on gas engines.

If you had a Bultaco -“Pursang” you got your engine oil from the guy who had a taco Cart…..
