Hi
My name is Ivy Courtney and I am currently a co-op student working for Natural Resources Canada when I came across an article on Google about you converting Diesel Engines into Veggie Oil Engines. Currently I am working on a project to make diesel engines out of Aluminum and found this article very interesting and was wondering if you could provide me with some more information. I am currently studying Metal Casting but I have studied chemistry in the past and both my parents are chemists.

When changing the engine, what exactly needs to change in the engine so it can run off the Veggie Oil? Does it require the use of spark plugs to ignite and actual oil or does the engine actually just combine the diesel fuel with the oil allowing it to still combust under high pressure? And if it still can combust under the high pressure do you happen to know if this creates a higher temperature or lower temperature? (that I don't expect you to know and I can look it up if need be but I figured I might as well ask) And lastly have you noticed that there is some change between the oil some days, or for the most part does it actual run at a fairly constant rate?

Any other information that you can provide me with would be much appreciated, my team is hopeful that by creating lighter diesel engines that it will become something much more popular in Canada and the United States and allow the auto industry to bring the European diesels over to the North American Article.

Thank you for your time,

Ivy Courtney
