[SEL] Corn-gas a BUST!

[Peter Lowe]

My cousins have been using Bio-Diesel for 8 years at around $0.25 a litre. 
The vehicles have never had a spanner (wrench) on them. One is a Toyota 
Landcruiser the other is a Rover car.
They have fish & chip (fries) oil coming out of their ears and supply is 
more than they can use. Both have around 20 - 44gal drums of supply at any 
one time.
They have a real professional home setup, even with their own bowsers.
