Calling all cars, calling all cars...

Thailand police have put out an all points bulletin for used cooking oil to fuel their patrol cars as increasing oil prices threaten to decimate their annual crime fighting budget.

Anyone is welcome to donate old cooking oil for biodiesel, from large food processing plants to roadside fried banana stalls.

Thai police in this globalised world need to hold their weapons in one hand when arresting the crooks, while the other hand is making biodiesel for their patrol cars.

The head of a biofuel project at a Bangkok police station said the Thai police expected to have 80 of their 1500 stations nationwide running their vehicles on biodiesel by the end of the year.

I thought about retrofitting

IntricateGirl; Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 5:49am

I thought about retrofitting a car to work on these kind of fuels. Still thinking about it actually. We are commercial landlords and have a restaurant in our building, so I've got a good supply of used cooking oil. It's not too difficult from what I hear, but the biggest deterrent to me is that it doesn't work well in the cold, and we get some pretty bitter winters where I am.

NZ is looking seriously at biodiesel...

with our forestry as a resource - countries like Australia could use their sugar industry - there are a variety of ways to produce it.

I want one!

now, my poor pos car is about to die, so I doubt I could do anything with IT. But, I'd love a car that runs on cooking oil! I'd even start cooking! Sounds win-win to me!
