Geting a Biodiesel Bus

1. Look in your local classified ads or on Craigslist.com or on eBay.com for a biodiesel bus. Sometimes, people will list biodiesel buses for sale on these sites and this might be the easiest way to get a biodiesel bus for yourself.

2. Buy a regular diesel bus and convert the engine to run on vegetable oil. Converter kits are available, basically the re-used vegetable oil is harvested from restaurant fryers and poured into the engine, where (using the kit) it is converted into biodiesel fuel). These kits are around $1500

   Buy a kit for converting vegetable oil into biodiesel using a little factory in your garage. These are made large enough to fuel entire fleets of biodiesel buses and small enough to produce just enough biodiesel at a time for use in your family vehicle.

4. Learn more about the diesel secrets company, which sells a small bottle of liquid that's poured into vegetable oil to instantly turn it into biodiesel fuel to be used without any alteration to the vehicle at all.

Tips & Warnings

• The sooner you start driving a biodiesel bus, the better. Biodiesel emissions are cleaner, the biodiesel fuel is better for your engine and biodiesel fuel costs as little as 46 cents a gallon as opposed to the price of petroleum-based fuels.
• All recycled vegetable oil must undergo a filtration process in order to be turned into biodiesel fuel. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for any kit you purchase.
