  1. First off you need you need to convert that oil to biodiesel, using pure oil is stupid and will undoubtedly hunk up your engine sooner or later, second off it’s clear that they weren’t going to air this on tv without making sure they swayed you away from doing it.

  2. Lurv these guys. Fucking awesome that they don't fear for their lives to go against Earth's most powerful industries. (This vid's just ONE instance.)
    Next stop: phosphoethanolamine and DCA cures cancer in the cheap.

  3. It should be the engine of the present and future. But the rich people that control the world realised that they lost money on diesel cars, and lost their control on access to fuel.

    They use less fuel, they have the ability to run on fuel made by anyone, they last longer. That simply will not do for the powers that be.

    They want us to rely on them for fuel, buy more vehicles that break more often, use more fuel, buy rare earth element batterie powered rubbish with more planned obselesence, buy complex hydrogen systems and hydrogen from them, agree to ever more higher environment based taxes.

    And agree to more bs public transport systems that they can make money from and make private vehicle transport less affordable to the lower classes.

    Henry Ford's early cars ran just fine on plant based alcohol fuel made by simple farmers in the USA. You know what happened? Standard Oil and Rockefeller brought in the Prohibition Bill and made Ford and others make their vehicles unable to run on simple farm made fuel.

    Diesels have been/are being killed off with ever more complex designs to meet the ridiculous made up environment emissions standards and the lie that car drivers want and need extreme levels of smoothness, low noise and high power. In reality a diesel of the 80s and mid 90s was perfectly adequate for everyone.

    And bio diesel would be far better for the environment than fossil based fuel or rare earth element and chemical batteries, or probably even hydrogen.

    And the old lie of we can't grow enough crops for fuel or that it will be immoral to use food crops for fuel is
    A. Nonsense anyway, high yield crops are mostly not edible, it would provide the poor in rural impoverished parts of the world with a cottage industry.
    B. Extremely high yields of Biodiesel can be made by growing on algae on sewage.
    And C. Its not like the poor of the world are getting much food, water or help in our current system anyway.

    With biodiesel surplus food and wealth would be created.
    Welcome to the bullshit world we live in.

  4. Works great in all older cars has been for years seen it in Cummins trucks, diesel this pre 2003 very common smells very nice too save the environment one burger at a time lol

  5. Cooking oil Only 10% less efficient Not busted Farmers who grow 20% fuel crops on their land don't have to buy fuel they have done this for years now.

  7. I thought the myth was economic and it is you pay for diesel fuel and the oil was free the fact you got 10% less distance is still no reason to have this busted. Now if you want to do a comparison myth yes it would be busted… i enjoy your show thanks guys .

  8. How is it busted?
    It only has to be 11% cheaper than diesel to beat the 10% loss in mpg to be a winner.

    MythBusters nearly always bust anything that's a bit edgy.

    For ultra long-range biodiesel search NEXBTL

  9. Unfortunately if you get your tank dipped by a cnt err cop and you haven't declared to be duty taxed, there's a heavy fine penalty. Albeit the tax is 20 something pence per litre. Gov. Cnts will extort money from us one way or another.
    It is unfair considering none of us signed up to be involved in these retarded civilizations.
