Vegetable Oil For Fuel

Dear Uncle Sam- B...b......but what I'm doing is good for the environment ol chap! Take a look.

Each year, all family vehicles in the U.S. consume enough fuel to cover a regulation-size football field to the depth of about 40 miles. As a nation we are consuming approximately 20 million barrels of oil a day, making our country the number one consumer of non-renewable fossil fuels in the world.

Currently the U.S. imports about 60% of our fuel needs from other countries.

Running a family car for a year would result in an emission of two tones of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Each gallon of gas you use releases 25 pounds of heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.

1 tree absorbs 1 ton of CO2 in its lifetime.

80,000 acres of trees a day are deforested in the Amazon.

Logging concessions in the Amazon are sold for as little as $2 per acre.

2400 lbs of CO2 could be saved if half an average American households waste was recycled.

The US is responsible for over 1/3 of the worlds C02 emissions.

Dear Jeff Bayley
We know all about the surveys you sent. There is nothing we can or want to do to change those statistics as outlined. Please send in more tax money so we can do more surveys.

Due to Jeff's growing concern about the use of fossil fuels I understand he will be selling all three of his coaches on ebay with buy it now prices of $200 with free delivery.

His travel will not be in a hybrid Civic and sleeping accomodations will be provided by LL Bean.

Yes Jon......good idea. I'm going coast to coast on a bicyle tour to promote enviromentally friendly methods of transportation. I'm pulling the 17k pound trailer with me. I've got a special sprocket with a gear ratio of 200 to 1. At this rate I should make it back to CA. by retirement age.

Actually, I'm not a Green Peace nut and I don't belong to PETA either. I just got finished eating cooking veal sausage for breakfast which taste like a cross between a Bald Eagle and a Manatee. I like to cook it using the flororcarbons from a can of hair spray and a cigarette lighter.

The $$$ savings doesn't even interest me. I guess I'm bored and a glutten for aggrevation.

Good one. I want to see that trailer going downhill, not uphill:eek:

Wait a minute, stop the music, stop the music. Bayley bought a 3rd bus?

I know about the Angola with the blown engine, and I know about the Royale that he parked in New York City for 9 months, and I know about the 17,000 trailer that he tows @ 85 mph while drinking a cocktail.

What is the third coach? Is it the FRY-O-Lator.

One thing I'd be concerned about is what will Detroit Diesel do, should you need engine repair? I know you've already had the bad side of that with the Angola Series 60 engine. I vaguely remember hearing that DD is not behind bio-diesel, and my guess it that this would send them into gales of laughter, before they refused to work on your engine??

We finally got a good picture of Jeff Bayley with his avitar.

Nice going Jeff, your mascara is not running.

Merle, Louise, Tuga and Karen Gaidry. Is it Tuga or Merle ?

I have 4 buses but you can't count the rolling showroom for my products becuase it is a cheap Spartan chassis with a front control diesel. I think this would be the preferred platform to test the vegetable oil on especially since I have unused bay space near the front of the bus to put the holding tanks and filtration system. The 3rd bus is a 1999 H3-45 double slide shell that was never converted past the slides. I'm trying to sell it or trade out of it now. Would take half trade in coach or boat and half cash by they way if you know anyone that might be interested in the shell. 8k miles.

Ray- Regarding Detroit on the warranty for the engine stuff, I would probabley only try it if I install the used engine I think I've found. I wouldn't try it on factory remanufactured engine with a warranty.

I'm still doing the DD on the thing. I've got a call into the guy with the Blue Bird to see how he finds his working out. You really need to be logging some serious mileage I guess for it to even begin to be worth the bother unless you let the hobby aspect of it play in.

Jeff,

Merle is my real name, Tuga is my nickname. I'll answer to either. Most people call me Tuga.

Good luck in your effort with the cooking oil. We're pulling for you.:)
