Touring Musicians Turn to Veggie Oil with Greenvans
Part Two of an ongoing series featuring entrepreneurs who utilize straight or waste vegetable oil (SVO/WVO) to fuel their businesses while reducing their carbon footprints . For every U2 and Bon Jovi—touring the world in private jets and spacious tour buses—there are thousands of working musicians making their way to the clubs and bars of America in not-so-spacious passenger vans.

Omnitek Diesel-to-Natural Gas Conve...Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK) develops and sells new natural gas engines, as well as a proprietary technology to convert diesel engines to natural gas. This system has established Omnitek as a leader in the industry. Omnitek offers a total-system approach and is dedicated to supplying alternative energy and emissions control solutions that are sustainable, affordable and contribute to combat global warming. As long as the price of crude oil increase and the threat of global warming and air pollution remains, the search for an alternative fuel becomes increasingly important. Natural gas has emerged as a perfect solution to these challenges. Readily available in many countries from indigenous sources, natural gas is inexpensive and clean burning. Diesel engines have been the backbone of the transportation and power generation industry. Valued for their power, fuel economy and durability, diesel powered trucks, buses and generators are used worldwide, however, they are heavy polluters and significantly contribute to global warming. Omnitek has developed a system to convert any existing diesel engine to a clean-burning natural gas engine at a fraction of the cost of a new engine and estimates the population of diesel engines around the world, which can be converted using the Omnitek Diesel-to-Natural Gas Conversion System and offer the best ROI, approaching ten million engines.

Shade Tree Conversions Diesel turbo...Gary Brown explains how turbo diesel tractor engines can be installed in pickups and how they can get up to 40 miles per gallon and run up to 100 miles per hour. These trucks can run on diesel or biodiesel. They burn diesel much more efficiently and therefore get up to triple the miles per gallon. This was done by testing and by trial and error. A good mechanic could do the same for your vehicle to help improve mileage.
