Fuel from the kitchen

Some French motorists are dodging the near-record price of conventional oil by illegally using pure vegetable oil as a
substitute for diesel.

Despite the European Union pushing for the development of pure vegetable oils as an alternative to traditional
fuels, they have never been legally permitted in France. Motorists who use them risk being fined.

But in Germany, trucking companies are increasingly using normal rapeseed oil as a cheap fuel alternative to
higher-grade rapeseed biodiesel.

"At least 2000 to 3000 French motorists are using between 50 and 100 per cent pure vegetable oil in their tanks
right now," said Alain Juste, manager of Valenergol, a distribution company for sunflower oil.

Mr Juste, who is president of the Pure Vegetable Oil Institute, said he based his estimate on the 700 small-sized
crushing machines in use. "Most of the oil production goes in car tanks," he said.

Mr Juste, who has been producing vegetable oil for motorists for the past 12 years, says the interest in pure
vegoil has multiplied by 30 in the past three to four months, when pump prices started to take off.

"Vegetable oil, which is either made from rapeseed or sunflower, costs 0.70-0.80 euros per litre against 1.18
euros ($A1.42) per litre for diesel," he said.

"Many motorists are also going straight to supermarkets to buy vegetable oil destined for human consumption."

But the use of oil made for human consumption should not exceed 50 per cent of a tank and should be filtered,
Mr Juste said.

"Over that limit you could have injection problems in your motor," he said.

Biofuels in France are split between ethanol, a combustible fuel made from sugar beet or cereals that can be
blended with conventional fuel, and biodiesel, mainly produced from rapeseed, which is then blended with
diesel.

"It's outrageous that biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel should get tax breaks when we are not even allowed
to commercialise our product, which is far more friendly to the environment," Mr Juste said.

DVD S.V.O. Seminar 2006

Lately there's been a lot of talk about the effects of Global warming due to our love of gas guzzling vehicles and our
dependency on foreign oil. Scientists and entrepreneurs around the world are busy developing what they hope will be
our answer to cleaner burning vehicles. What many people don't realize is that this technology already exists and it's
been around for quite some time now.

This DVD was Shot during a seminar on Straight Vegetable Oil at Ecoversity in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is packed with
2.5 hours of valuable information. Listen along while many of the most frequently asked questions about this technology
are discussed and answered.

These questions and more are answered on this DVD:

• The History of Straight Vegetable Oil

• Different Alternative Fuels
• Straight Vegetable vs. Biodiesel
• Straight Vegetable Oil Facts and Fiction
• Diesel Engines vs. Gasoline Engines
• How a Straight Vegetable Oil System Works
• The Importance of a Vehicles Air Filter
• Increase Power and Economy/Computer Mods
• Oil Gathering 101
• Filtering on the Fly with the One Shot
• Using Filter Bags
• What to do with leftover Nasty Oil
• Diesels Available in the USA

DVD GREASY RIDER

Picture a cross-country road trip powered by vegetable oil in a 1981 Mercedes-Benz. Greasy Rider follows the two
filmmakers, Joey Carey and JJ Beck, as they meet with fellow Greasecar drivers, friends, and critics. Traveling as far south
as New Orleans and as far north as Seattle, the car is fueled by used cooking grease collected at restaurants along the
way.
Interviews include Morgan Freeman who is opening up a Biodiesel plant in Mississippi. Political analyst Noam Chomsky,
“You're supposed to believe we would have liberated Iraq even if its main product was pickles,” appears along side Yoko
Ono, “This whole world is now ruled by corporations and their greed,” and Tommy Chong, “You guys figured it out. You
got your little bio-car, and there you go.” Additional interviews include the founders of the four major vegetable oil
conversion kit companies, Greasecar, Greasel, Neoteric, and Frybrid, as they discuss the reality of vegetable oil as a fuel.

The heat is felt in this political documentary as America's energy consumption continues to grow. With gas prices on the
rise and the reality of global warming setting in, Greasy Rider points to vegetable oil as one part of the solution to our
energy problems.

The Film:   FUEL

http://thefuelfilm.com

FUEL is an insightful portrait of America’s addiction to oil and an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy
solutions. Director, Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles us on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the
petrochemical industry — from Rockefeller’s strategy to halt Ford’s first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's
petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation — and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower
America" — from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel.

Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take us through America’s
complicated, often ignominious energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized,
sustainable living is not only possible, it’s imperative.
