Actually, there is quite a lot going on in the area of
soy and vegetable oils as diesel extenders and substitutes.

The organization that is doing the most in Washington
is the American Biofuels Council at 703 522 3392.
Thats based in Arlington, Va.
They have a newsletter but I dont have a copy handy.
It keeps track of all kinds of research, production and
incentive information. The ABC is partly supported by an
association that promotes soybean use.

Veggie oils (including soy, tung, rapeseed, sunflower,
cotton and many others) have excellent cetane
properties for diesel engines but they tend to be
just a little too thick for most injectors and
used at full strength cause coking and nozzle
fouling. You dont want to just pour them into
your engine. On the other hand, if you know what
you are doing, there arent a lot of major barriers
to their use except price.

There is a long history of use of veggie oils for
diesels in wartime emergencies and for air pollution
control. Unlike alcohols, which have low cetane and
high octane ratings, veggie oils require no major
engine modifications to run in diesels.

Also, there are two Oxygenated Fuels Associations
(Im not sure why we need TWO)

one at 202 296-4200 and the other at 202-414-4100

They deal mostly with ethanol, methanol, ETBE, MTBE
and related alcohols for fuel.

I wish someone from these organizations was posting
information on this list. Maybe we can encourage
them.
