lol, sure, it can be done...but why???? I know a guy in cali that wants to build a 510 with a diesel that runs on recycled french fry oil....great engineering feat....BUT WHY???? (and don't say the environment....you cant tell me a ULEV pollutes more than a french fry burning diesel)

this question was more for those celica owners over seaes.. alot of counties use propane just as much or more then gas.. I know alot of people in the U S might not know this but propane is the a very much used around the world.

and my question wasn't if it could be done or if it should be done.

propande(as I understand it) burns too hot for a gas engine. I have seen many diesels with it though.

french fry oil actually burns something like 40% cleaner then normal deisel.... plus your car would smell like mc-dicks all the time....

here in canada some municipal trucks are using the old fat.... costs less and burns cleaner.... mmmmm.... french fries
