Around oz on fish and chip oil. I saw them on the news tonight and they plan to go all the way on bio fuel.

Around Oz on a Battered Fish

Very cool. There was a converted school bus doing the same thing in North America with a complete onboard WVO system. When their dirty oil tank was getting low they would just seek out restaraunts which do a fair bit of frying and fill-up. Looks like these folks have to process the fuel firts and then fuel up. Still quite the trip.

Personally ,I couldnt be bothered refining my own fuel when Im on holidays.

It will sure save them some money with diesel prices hitting $1.75AUD litre.

I saw this go through my suburb on its round the world trip. The trailer is a bank of solar panels.
I was dumbfounded as I had heard about the" Solartaxi "on the net and then whammy ,its in my backyard

I found some BBC article about a couple driving a veggie van around latin america. Damn if only I'd done that veg conversion before leaving, oh the sponsors I could have had with that kind of press coverage!! Like ACTUAL sponsors...
