I have been following the development of bio-diesel as a curiosity for
a few years.
As the pilot of a light plane the retrofitting of experimental planes with
diesel engines in Europe has been interesting. It is been done at the
commercial level as well.
I have not heard of anyone using bio-diesel in a plane yet; by that I do not mean "Virgin" mixing a blend of veggie oil, rather using full homemade bio-diesel. Someone will I am sure if the weight and complexity is overcome.
Stopping on the side of the road is one thing, stopping at 1000' is something
else.
HERE is my QUESTION: (I am a total novice in this subject.)
Has anyone heard of Brown's gas being injected into light two stroke engines?
Engines without oil injection! If it could be done and without destroying the
engine, then at the very least my outboard boat might be viable again with the fierce fuel prices.
I am also interested in bio-diesel for a VW Jetta and possible home electric
generation.
