I bet you haven't thought of this one...

Alternative Fuel Idea?

Cool!!

Sounds like a plan. I've got enough fuel in my yard to run for a decade.

That article is from 1981.

Not to ruin the coolness of the post, but If people did this, you could say byebye to national forests and other timber areas. I bet the GOP and a few others would gladly allow tree harvesting to happen too. Ruin everything for us sportsmen.

I guess if it were going to catch on, it would have by now - 25 years later. Kinda funny that somebody actually tried it.

They used that kind of set-up on civilian cars in Occupied France in WWII. Look closely in the film: "Is Paris Burning?" for instance. In the movies, they're always backfiring and not driving very fast at all.
Propane is a little less mickey mouse, IMHO.
