This should put a smile on those lobbying for alternative fuel. The Organic Mechanic has come up with a way to have alternative fuel for vehicles using cooking oil instead of diesel.

The usage of cooking oil is brought about by using a proprietary kit called the SuVO Conversion Kit. The SuVO Conversion Kit works by transferring heat from the radiator system to your vegetable oil tank and fuel lines. An electric heater heats the VegOil Fuel Filter at the same time. The heat thins the vegetable oil to a temperature that is appropriate to replace diesel fuel, which will be indicated by the installed Green2Go light on your dash. At this time you flip a switch to activate the fuel valve, and you running are on vegetable oil. Shut down the vehicle on diesel fuel to purge the lines; a reminder buzzer will sound if you forget. The SuVO conversion kit claims to reduce fuel emission by approx. 40-70%.

Prices will depend on what kind of parts your vehicle needs. The Organic Mechanic also offers a $1000 installation service too where you can bring your vehicle to Indiana or have a technician drive to you (extra travel charges may apply). With the installation services, you will get a system design prior to installation, consideration of winter climate conditions, personal session describing the parts, functions, and maintenance of your system, 1 Year Installation Service Warranty and 24-Hour Phone Technical Support.
