Can gasoline pickup be converted to burn E-85
Murf, that was a VERY interesting link. What interested me the most was the still kits. Unless you used wood or solar power for heating the still; I just don't see how it would be economical to produce alcohol but they sure did have some nice kits! The pay back period to justify the cost of the still would probably exceed the life of the automobile unless you were making very large quantities and selling it for a profit it that were possible. On the other hand, you could really have some fun experiementing with different blends of sour mash to develop a favorite drinking whiskey! ;O)

Can gasoline pickup be converted to burn E-85
I was thinking the same thing about WVO to biodiesel but even then unless you are making a LOT and I mean for a fleet. The costs of the the biodiesel processor can get into a prohibitive cost vs benefit too although it sure looks to be much more cost effective than the ethanol. I guess if you could scrounge around and find the components to make a biodiesel processor on the cheap it would be very cost effective; especially if you could find a high capacity source of WVO and make enough to sell to help recover start up costs. Sounds like it would be an interesting project to undertake.

Can gasoline pickup be converted to burn E-85
I think this may be wondering a bit far off topic but another alternative fuel us tractor folks tend to ignore is the transmission/hydraulic fluid that we periodically change out. After letting it settle for a month or more, I mix it in with my diesel fuel or sometimes Kerosene when I can buy it cheaper than diesel. As long as you keep the mix to around 10% or less, it burns fine. Not only does this help extend my fuel dollars, it also is a very good method of disposing of waste oil. This can be done with waste motor oil but I would recommend filtering it good before mixing with the diesel. This might make a good subject matter for another thread for "Alternative Fuels".
