Driving a Diesel? 

Use Biofuel

The diesel engine was originally designed to be ran on peanut oil. Its a very versatile engine, and can run off a variety of fuels, from left over chip fat, to vegetable oils etc.

In this current economic and environmental it is in our interests to look into this further. The fact that diesel engines are so versatile gives us opportunity to explore the use of alternative fuels such as biodiesel. Biodiesel is actually exceptionally easy to make and use. You just have to be aware of what you are doing.

So I searched the internet and found a resource you might find useful. A guide to making biodiesel in your own back yard. I have given you the link in a not so subtle way below. My logic is simple, you NEED to check it out. Its one of the fastest, cheapest and easiest ways to solve your current fuel problems.

Scam or Technology Revolution? 

Run Your Car on Water?

I am 50/50 on this one. I've read a lot on the internet about supplementing your fuel with water in order to use less fuel, and to improve your car's performance.

There has been a lot of talk on several forums lately about the likelihood of the system working. Some have claimed they have friends who have used it, and it has worked. Maybe they are just promoting the product?
others claim that the system is just a method of over heating the engine, which brings short-term gains, but long-term damage to the engines. Obviously this can't be proven, as this system is so recent in the public domain.

In a time when many claims are made on the internet, social proof is key. I have found one website, which looks crap, but goes to lengths to provide A LOT of video content as a means of social proof. It is informative, and you can sign up to a very interesting newsletter on the subject, educating you further via an email list on the technology described (harnessing the power of water and hydrogen).

The website is selling an ebook (for around 47 dollars I believe). Even if you don't buy the product, the videos on the site, are VERY interesting and are definitely worth a look. Check out the links section below to visit the site.
