1. @morningmayan “trying to get off foreign fuel” america is %50 invested in the dirtiest oil disaster here in Ft.McMurry Canada polluting our rivers killing our native population…don’t believe the perpetuation of that BS it isn’t true

2. Thank you Mayan. Always ask why, and what is behind all of our human slavery to the money and energy controls. If you want to know the main reasons for this closings and oil spills and some other “catastrophes”
   Love, Predrag

3. biofuels take food out of peoples mouth they raise all food prices according to lord mocton bio fules has caused the starvation of hundreds of thousands of poor people all over the world. peak oil is a myth period,

4. @yeahwotevaman I’m using old french fry oil they were going to throw out from my reatuarant – I don’t really think corn fuel is the answer either.

5. Yeah, put third world people’s food in your tank. Great idea.

6. Oh me, oh my! You spoke as if we REALLY do have a dependency on ‘foreign oit & foreign fuel’. We don’t!!! What’s so bitterly ironic about the Globalist’s oil leak carnage in the Gulf, is the reason why the ‘thing’ exploded. It unleashed one of the most dense & highest pressured oil cavities ever tapped. It was a volcano-like eruption which, SHOULD have revealed to us all, that there is plenty of oil EVERYWHERE, and that there is no need to depend on a foreign source, not now, nor has ever been.

7. @LKN4WAR I would suggest getting the conversion ( lovecraft in CA) it’s about 800.00 – but than you can safely drive it on waste veggie oil free from most restaurants. I know this is kind of a pain – BUT talking about getting off the grid! You don’t have to pay for any fuel and you help the environment:))) A lot more of the guys on here know more than me so hopefully they can chime in with more advice-

8. One other point about all these electric cars that use batteries. The batteries use nickel and that is mostly Mined up in canada. Nickel mining they say is very toxic and there is a dead zone around the mines….so much for the cool yuppie leaf and other electric cars. You follow the money. PS Thanks for update on old diesel Mercedes maybe something ill look into in the future, probably little to no computers in those years and simpler engine.

9. They dont want you driving that old diesel cause they dont make much money off you for the state. I spent hours online looking for bio diesel and couldnt seem to find any. Maybe one in corona. I have a diesel and the ULSD (ultra low sulfur) fuel is very hard on the engine since it doesnt have much lubricant in it. SO I wanted to add some bio diesel since it is excellent ad lubing engines. Guess it will be 2stroke oil instead like a lot of guys add to their diesel. CA is out of control.

10. The reason is major automakers are squeezing other possible “future threats” out competition wise. Nissan is using California, mostly San Diego, as a test market for their new “leaf” electric car. No bio fuel = more leafs sold? (sigh)

11. search on youtube: How to make biodiesel. It¨s right next to your video between the related videos.

12. Biofuel is made out of food. This is why we pay 3 times as much for food. Farmland, fertilizer and water that was used to grow food, is now being used for Biofuel. This would cause the starvation deaths of all Americans if we let it go on. If your tired of spending 3 times as much for food and want a refund, sue the people who supported Biofuel.

13. @ponderingwanderer : I second that. I am highly skeptical about that whole biofuel hype. Maybe that’s why they closed them? Too many people found out and the demands really dropped? Just wondering.

14. how do you know they closed 99% of them?

15. @morningmayan

16. biofuels such as ethanol are a net energy loss, so all the hype about them being “green” and such is really misguided. it takes more energy to produce than you actually get out of it.

    i know this video wasnt really about the efficiency of biofuels over gasoline, but i felt it was worth noting that if the intention is to assert independence from the oil companies, then unless you are making your own biofuel, the oil consumption is merely displaced to the farmers, not the consumers.

17. Nice ride =D

    About the closing of diesel fuel stations, that doesn’t surprise me, it’s all about the money – “getting off of foreign oil” is to make us happy. But too many American elitist and big corporations make far too much of a profit off of foreign oil to allow we, the people, to end our dependence on it. It makes me sick.

    Peace =D

18. The government wants to control how you travel. They do not want you to be self sufficient. They want to control every little thing in your life like they do in Cuba.

19. With the oil spill which happened along the gulf coast, the price of oil can further increase along with the usual summer time price hike.
    I think California and other states that are closing down their biofuel stations are trying to maximize the amount of money they make off of oil because the price is about to skyrocket. Don’t fight it…just don’t drive lol.

20. What ever happened to Hydrogen???? I know the Hindenburg gave Hydrogen a bad name but for cars it would be great!!! Water vapor for exhaust, and it you were to have an accident the fuel would float way instead of spill out around the ground putting the car inflames!!! In 1979 we at Sunpower Systems were producing Solar distilled alcohol and even had a test service vehicle that ran off straight alcohol. We even got a solar steam engine proto type working in 1982.

21. Because they really do not want us to get off of oil. The oil companies will not allow this to happen. They want humans to feel bad about ruining the environment but they know global warming is a lie (they made it up).

    As long as we are dependent on their oil, they can control us.

22. @morningmayan google propane conversion kits for diesel engines, or regular gasoline engine depending on what you want to convert, and you’ll probably find a lot of area specific sites that will hook you up with what you need. I sound like Hank from King of the Hill now. lol

23. @jason34207 Sounds really interesting, where can I find more about propane – how expensive and eco friendly is that?

24. @myliverwurst REally good points! And thank you I am a diesel fan now for sure. And I agree there must be a better option than growing our fuel, used waste for sure

25. excellent purchase, looks very nice. I’ve been a diesel driver for many years. there’s so much more energy in a gallon of diesel vs a gallon of gasoline.

    if anything we should be looking for ways to use non-food based waste matter in the generation of bio fuels. using corn for ethanol finally revealed itself for what it was, a waste of time, but we don’t have to use food products.
