Some facts about us

Q. Why biodiesel?

A. While it is not the end-all solution to global warming and clean transportation, it is a clean and easy way to alter vehicles currently released by the automobile industry to significantly lower emissions.

Q. Do you have to alter the engine to use biodiesel?

A. Not necessarily. Due to the cleaning qualities of biodiesel running through the engine, it is possible that the filters will need to be replaced if they clog from the diesel residues.

Q. Do you have to alter the engine to use SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil)

A. Yes. There are several ways this can be done, either by adding an extra tank in the trunk area of the vehicle that holds the vegetable oil, or by installing a one tank conversion kit. We are happy to help you with more information on this.
