but I would love to have one. Gotta start saving my pennies.

Can you imagine running behind a diesel on the trails...Phew! Not to mention the headache and racket.

The louder the better

I like the diesel! plus you can deep fry your dinner, and have enough fuel to drive on!!

This man is sick He and Trash should get along

wha... huh, did someone mention my name??

Does anyone know of the HP and TQ specs on the chrysler 2.8 diesel? I may have to look them up I guess.

Don't worry Steve, I'd only run nice smelling biodiesel on the trail.

Edit to add: In the liberty, 160 hp 295 tq. Fuel economy of 22 miles city and 27 miles highway.

I was thinking of getting this and going biodiesel eventually. Thanks for the specs, I just know its the 2.8L turbo diesel that was in the liberty from '05-'06. I already have a diesel F250 and thinking about making my own bio diesel anyway. Just need to see how I get started on it.

I've done quite a bit of research on this and also plan on doing it eventually. Here's a blog entry I did that might help you get started.

Basically one part methanol to 5 parts veggie oil. Then you add either Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide as a catalyst in the right amount. The only trick now is scaling it up.
I'm really wanting to do this because I do chemistry all day at work anyway.

Here's a link for you Tenikiwon....

They have how to make and how to build a processor to make about 20-50 gallons a day. I'm shooting for 20 which is more than enough. I want to be up and running by the end of the year but I need to do more research. Gotta find a methanol source and sodium hydroxide source.

I know sodium hydroxide (caustic soda also known as lye) can be found in cleaning aisle of some stores with the drain opener
I guess with free waste veggie oil and all the ingredients together it will cost me about 60-80 cents a gallon.

Beats 4 bucks by far. Even if I buy the oil new at Costco for 1.36 a gallon I'm still at about 2 bucks a gallon but it would be funny to see me taking 2 shoppings carts full of oil out the front door. LOL

Test motor?
