[Vwdiesel] Know anything about "Diesel Secret"?

[James Hansen]

wouldn't the low vapor pressure of the gasoline be a problem when 
heating it this way?

>> Does anyone know anything good or bad about the Diesel Secret WVO additive? The web address is www.dieselsecret.com . They claim that their additive will allow you to use properly filtered waste vegetable oil as you would ordinary diesel fuel or biodiesel, at a cost of .46 cents a gallon, assuming you can find waste vegetable oil from restaurants, for free, by using their additive. I have contacted local restaurants but they say their oil has already been spoken for. I have seen some adds for "Diesel Secret" on the "Speed TV channel, so I assume some of you must have heard of it too. Some say, just go to the back of a restaurant & take it without permission. But this is stealing & I refuse to do this.
