What are the inspection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks?

Safety inspections for passenger cars and light-duty trucks require that the following items be checked: suspension components. steering. braking systems. tires and wheels. lighting and electrical systems. glazing (glass). mirrors. windshield washer. defroster. wipers. fuel systems. the speedometer. the odometer. the exhaust systems. horns and warning devices. the body. and chassis. For most vehicles in the 42 county. Non-I/M region this safety inspection will also include a Visual Anti-Tampering Check. The Visual Anti-Tampering Check is an examination of the vehicle to see if the required emissions components have been tampered with or removed. For more information concerning the 42 County Visual Anti-Tampering Check please reference Section 175. 80 of Subchapter E. of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations. For a complete list of the rejection criteria for passenger cars and light duty trucks. please visit Subchapter E of the Vehicle Equipment and Inspection Regulations.

If you own a Diesel car. truck. motorhome. boat. tractor or generator. you can likely use WVO as fuel. Most of the time two tanks are used. one for WVO the other for petroleum diesel. Our products use engine coolant and electricity to heat the WVO.   Start on regular Diesel fuel. then once things are all warmed up switch to WVO. and then you're drivin' for peanuts. Or on peanut oil that is.  Some vehicles (mainly 77-85 Benz and a few other older IDI engines) can operate on WVO 100% of the time as long as you are in a reasonably warm climate.   

Will 100% WVO work in all Diesel engines?

Sorry but the answer is no. If you have a newer Diesel engine (late 1990's and newer) and want to use WVO for fuel. we recommend using a mix (cocktail) of WVO and pump diesel with our system.

What are the environmental benefits of using WVO?

The first benefit is that sulfur (which causes acid rain) is eliminated since WVO contains no sulfur. Co2 emissions (which are blamed for global warming) are nearly eliminated because WVO is a renewable fuel. Emissions of other pollutants like HC and CO are reduced by about 30% - 50% when compared to petroleum Diesel.   One of the most beneficial reductions is that black smoke (particulate) is significantly reduced by 50- 70%.   Soot from petroleum fueled Diesel engines is carcinogenic and can cause serious respiratory problems.   Generally the engines Nox emissions remain unchanged.

How will my engine operate on WVO?

When you use WVO as fuel you'll notice your engine will. run quieter. cooler. and make less black smoke than when it is running on petroleum Diesel.

Will WVO give me the same power as Diesel fuel? 

Once the engine is warmed up there is usually no distinguishable change in performance. In fact some tests have shown a small increases in power. but this can vary. and depends on the quality of WVO you are using. However WVO has less BTU's per volume than Petrolium diesel and therefore you could expect to see a decrease in your MPG by as much as 5%

Why should I use WVO?

This one is simple. using WVO can save you money and it's much better for our environment than petroleum fuel. Our friend Bill commutes 220 miles a day in his 300D turbo Benz. That's 1. 00 miles a week. over 50. 00 miles per year. Using WVO saves him over $20. 00 a day. $100. 00 per week. $400. 00 per month. $4. 00. 00 per year!  For the price of just a few tanks of diesel you could drive for free!
