I posed this question about a year ago on another site. I believe it was Jake who said it was not practical given the high compression ratio necessary with diesel.

I own a TDI in one of my cars and love it ... hence my inquiry. Too bad really.

Corn dogs kill.

As for corn...did some research...
Takes as much regular fuel to produce the same amount of "corn" fuel.
just plain stupid. Just another way for the poor exploited corn farmers to sell their corn. Just not practical.
Anyone looked into a practical engine conversion?
I keep seeing a few guys show off their amazing skills with converting form the Horizontal opposed 4 to modern vw 1.8 t's so there must be SOME way to use a TDI donor engine?

I really think Hydrogen will be the only Real Cmbustion fuel alternative.

With Use of Fixed magnets scientist have achieved close to Utonian Electrolosis.


Just too many damn patents bought up by big oil and been sat on where the life was killed out of them.
