New idea

[ScottFJ40]

I'm thinking of running my FJ40 on something other than gasoline or diesel.

Thoughts?

LCML-


Wasn't there someone that went on and on about how they were going to make a diesel-electric Land Crusier??

Mine goes like a bat out of hell down hills. Now I just have to figure out how to only go places downhill.

Sounds like a Rolls Canardly.

Cow manure: an underrated fuel source.

I'm actually debating building my own bio"refinery" to make fuel for my CTD.

There are stations selling Bio Diesel now (made from soy oil) around $3 a gal. When Diesel hit $2.39 I was thinking about it.

Here in MD, you get a 50% rebate on bio for amounts between 200-2000 gallons. Makes economical sense to me.

Wow at $1.50 a gal I burn it in my house boiler. It's supose to lube diesel engines better....make um last longer

U can always get a jet engine and strap that on the back, its a bit more expensive but think of the time you would save traveling at 300+ MPH !!!!!

COAL!!!! once ond future fuel of choice. Get a boiler and a steam whisle. Tell people your cruiser has an external combustion engine. Assured to get noticed.

It lubes the injector pumps better, anyway. Homeade stuff is the way to go though.

hydrogen? someone created a regular internal combustion engine to run on it...

I've considered converting my 72 FJ40 to either natural gas or bio diesel for the last 10 years, can't make up my mind still, right now bio diesel is way more realistic.

Natural gas can be rather unstable if the fuel cell is punctured. Although besides a new fuel cell you really only need a new carb for the mod, basically.

Besides the first and original diesel engine operated off of peanut oil, that's how it was made. This only requires a new heated fuel cell if you run SVO. Ready made bio diesel requires no mods as I understand.

I've even considered building my own hybrid bio diesel out of a conventional diesel engine some day.

natural gas cylinders are stable enough, i've had my 40 almost completely suspended off mine, on a rock, and no puncture.

I like the idea of manure, clean the fields and have fuel for the 40, and hey if I ever run out, I personally can supplement when my horses cannot perform!!!
