Jeff Phillips of The Green Lab in Pasadena converts diesel engines to run on well-filtered waste vegetable oil. The Green Lab just got a contract to convert 15 garbage trucks for Full Circle Recycling in Los Angeles. These are two-tank conversions, which means that they start up and shut down on oil-fashioned dirty diesel fuel -or much cleaner biodiesel- which keeps the veggie oil from congealing in and on the fuel injector nozzles as the engine cools when not in use. This can cause coking, which can ruin your engine over time. The result is similar to a layer of charcoal in delicate places where carbon deposits ought not to be, like a motor’s cylinders with their low tolerances for grit. Any machine powered by a diesel motor can be converted, including the latest “clean diesel” engines being produced by major auto companies.
