Sure you can play the don't ask, don't tell game if its an old enough vehicle but you are still breaking the rules. Unfortunately his plan doesn’t work in any area with emission controls.

Every car made in America in the fifties and sixties came with three engines, a V8, a really big and expensive V8, and an economical straight-six. My '60 Chevy had a straight-six, got 25 miles per gallon. Unfortunately it sputtered out an anemic 150 horsepower, but it was still pretty quick. Still though, it does hurt me a little to see a perfectly functioning classic ruined in this fashion, especially when they're getting rarer and rarer.

Those poor cars! You're hurting them! Biodiesel is not the answer. You may as well enjoy your occasional use of your classic the way it was intended instead of using a horrible diesel plant with an ethically dodgy fuel. Hydrogen is the way forward here; not ruining classics. Stop it! Those poor cars! You’re hurting them!

I've been following this guy for about 2 years on google alerts. I hope it is the real deal. And why haven't one of the big 3 auto makers snapped this guy up and made him the Chief Tech officer, and get their big trucks 50mpg, and then let the imports deal with that.
