Company Converts Fuel Tank for Vegetable Oil

from National Public Radio
October 18, 2007

The company Veggie Wheels installs a separate tank in cars to heat vegetable oil before pumping it in the tank. Afterward, you can refuel at a supermarket instead of a gas station. Or, if you get desperate, you can stop at McDonald's and fill up with their waste oil.
