Anyone ever run their geo on an alternative fuel?absolut_vodka 01-21-2005, 08:44 PM Ethanol, Hydrogen, Water, biodiesel, diesel? Just wondering. geozukigti 01-26-2005, 10:33 PM I run Av gas on track day :smokin: Mike_Van 01-27-2005, 02:55 PM Only the 10% ethanol they put in our winter fuel in CO. If there had been a diesel engine availble in a metro, I've have been all over it. Biodiesel rocks! Seed crops for fuel mean less imported petroleum. It's infuriating that our gov't isn't promoting this stuff aggressively, but it makes sense if you look at who's running the show...

Anyone know how stable these home-made hydrogen extractors are? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
