THIS IS WHAT IT BECOMES ONCE YOU GET UP TO THE PUMP:
LITTLE DO MOST KNOW, VEHICLES MADE FROM 2000 AND LATER ARE ABLE TO RUN ON E85 ETHANOL FUEL DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IN YOUR CAR AND YOUR CAR'S SENSORS ALLOWING IT TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN REQUIRED TO BURN THE FUEL BUT SHOULD ONLY BE DONE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN NON-FLEX FUEL COMPLIANT VEHICLES AFTER 2000 AS THEY CAUSE CORROSION ON THE METALS IN THE ENGINE FROM PROLONGED USE. SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, MANY AUTOMOBILES ON THE ROAD ARE FLEX FUEL CAPABLE VEHICLES BUT THE OWNER'S AREN'T AWARE AS ONLY NEWER VEHICLES HAVE THE FLEX FUEL SYMBOL OF A ROAD WITH A GREEN LEAF ON THEM. HERE IS A SITE LISTING FLEX FUEL CAPABLE VEHICLES TO CHECK AND SEE IF YOU ALREADY OWN ONE AS THEY WERE MADE AS FAR BACK AS 1995.

THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO USING E85 ON A REGULAR BASIS, IT PRODUCES 1/3RD LESS CARBON AND COSTS USUALLY ABOUT 50 CENTS LESS PER GALLON, YOUR OIL ONLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 6,000 MILES VERSUS EVERY 3,000 AND YOUR ENGINE RUNS QUIETER, (UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT FLEX-FUEL COMPLIANT, IN WHICH CASE YOU MAY HEAR A LITTLE KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE) BUT YOU GET LESS MILES PER GALLON, THERE ARE FEWER REFUELING SITES THEN REGULAR GASOLINE, AND EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL SPEND LESS EVERY TIME YOUR AT THE PUMP, YOU WILL GO TO THE PUMP MORE AND SPEND MORE PER YEAR. BELOW IS A SITE THAT SHOWS BY STATE, CITY AND ADDRESS ALL E85 REFUELING POINTS, YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEVERAL IN YOUR TOWN BUT DON'T KNOW IT.

DIESEL VEHICLES CAN RUN ON FILTERED COOKING OIL FROM YOURS OR YOUR LOCAL FAST FOOD CHAIN'S DEEP VAT FRYER OR CHEMICALLY ALTERING REGULAR COOKING OIL WHICH IS EXPLAINED BELOW IN THESE 2 YOUTUBE VIDEOS:
PART 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M35fpHisy4E&feature=related)
PART 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdXA8K6shzU&NR=1&feature=fvwp)
DIESELS CAN ALSO BE RUN ON PROCESSED USED MOTOR OIL AS WELL BUT IS MORE TIME CONSUMING AND REQUIRES SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT TO DO IT PROPERLY WITH AN INCREASED CHANCE OF DAMAGING YOUR ENGINE AND OR FUEL SYSTEM.
SIMPLY HEAT THE USED WASTE OIL TO BETWEEN 200 - 300 DEGREES AND THEN FILTER IT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH VARIOUS SIZED MICRON FILTERS USUALLY STARTING AT 20, THEN 15 AND 10 THEN DOWN TO 5 OR EVEN 1, NEXT THOROUGHLY MIX IT IN WITH AN EQUAL PART OF DIESEL FUEL FOR 15-30 MINUTES UNTIL THERE IS NO VISIBLE SEPARATION OF FLUIDS AND YOU HAVE JUST DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF FUEL YOU HAD FOR YOUR DIESEL FUELED VEHICLE. IN LOCATING LARGE SOURCES OF USED MOTOR OIL, JUST CHECK YOUR LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP OR YOUR LOCAL RECYCLE POINT AS THEY USUALLY HAVE 55 GALLON DRUMS OR LARGE PLASTIC STORAGE UNITS FOR WASTE OILS. DIESELS CAN ALSO RUN ON FILTERED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND HYDRAULIC OIL. BE FOREWARNED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING YOUR ENGINE AND ALSO NOTE THAT THESE FUELS MAY PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING DURING COLDER TIMES AND LOCATIONS. AS A PRECAUTION, DURING COLDER CLIMATES OR IN COLDER LOCALES, DO NOT EXCEED A 25% MIX.
OTHER LOCATIONS OR SOURCES FOR GASOLINE, ETHANOL, OR DIESEL: GO TO NEW AND USED CAR LOTS, EACH VEHICLE ON THE LOT USUALLY CONTAINS A FEW GALLONS OF GAS OR DIESEL PER VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH YOUR LOCAL GAS STATION MAY BE OUT OF GASOLINE, DIESEL OR EVEN E85, CHANCES ARE THEY STILL HAVE QUARTS OF MOTOR OIL THAT YOU CAN BLEND WITH DIESEL TO INCREASE FUEL VOLUME BUT WOULD SUGGEST NO MORE THEN 1/3RD OF UNUSED MOTOR OIL TO DIESEL MIX, OR BOTTLES OF FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, HEET, OR OCTANE BOOSTER FOR GASOLINE OR FLEX FUEL E85 ENGINES WITH A MIX OF NO MORE THEN 1/3RD OF OTHER TO GASOLINE OR E85 AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB FOR ALL YEARS AND MAKES BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPOSED MAINLY OF METHOL-ALCOHOL AND WILL BURN FINE IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS MADE FROM 2000 ON BUT EARLIER MODELS DATING BEFORE 2000 SHOULD BE FILLED WITH NO LESS THEN 75% GASOLINE UNLESS THEY ARE FLEX FUEL CAPABLE.
