Anyone hear of it? I was watching Trucks this morning, they have a kit with a big vat, and chemicals, and a drain. Used cooking grease from local retaurants, some kind of solid calcium product, waited for it to settle, drained the crud out of the bottom after an hour, until amber colored fuel was coming fully out of the tube and no crud left. Then you could use a hose and water wash it somehow for ultra clean fuel. Turns out, 70 cents roughly a gallon, better performance, less emissions, better fuel economy, and just all around better. It was weird, something to do with chemical bonding that seperated the fuel from the grease etc. One of my first semester classes is chemical bonding, so when I figure out what I just said, I'll make sure to explain it better. Obviously just for Diesel trucks.
 
my buddys friends have a "griesel" the say it gets like 100 miles a gallon. they turned all theyre cars into griesels, not sure how or if this is the same thing. would like to know more about it though.

Yep - two guys at work driving F250s are doing this.

Hows that working out? I know you have to measure out the PH Level. And the exhaust smells like fried food because its corn oil. Ah if only they had a kit for us gasoline users.
 
Willie Nelson (the singer) is heavily invested in the commercialization of this product. He's working with the Love's company (see http://www.loves.com/) to make it available through their chain of convenience stores, with it already being available in the Midlothian, TX, store. My dad is looking into it for use in his tractors.
