Steve:
Too bad there wasn't a diesel version of the TR6.
There is a number of web sites showing operational biodiesel plants that
convert used fryer fat into good usable diesel fuel.
Most are using the methods shown in the book, "From the Fryer Into the Fuel
Tank".

On the topic of the 200 MPG carburetor, I believe the secret to high mileage
is to cause the gasoline to break down into more basic ingredients, such as
methane. I also believe that the Pogue carburetor, built in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada, in the 1930's was capable of giving 200 MPG in a Ford V8
powered car. In fact, there was a discovery of the blueprints for Pogue's
carburetor discovered in Britain, in June of 2003.

I have a friend, Don Smith, of Regina, Sask., who told me about a carburetor
he had on a car when he was a youngster in Ontario. It was built by a local
garage mechanic, and gave him fantastic mileage. He was later called and
was told to bring his car to the garage, where the carburetor was removed,
shortly after the mechanic sold the rights to the carburetor design to
someone. I should try to get more information from him soon as he is now
suffering from early stages of Altzheimer's disease.
