Bio Diesel "is" legal in all 50 U.S. states . There are even a few biodiesel refineries . One I
know of is located somewhere in Florida
. The refineries remove the stuff that clogs fuel filters and put in the neccessary additives to
allow the veggie fuel to burn more cleaner
. Some of the big oil companies are experimenting with it by adding the biodiesel to the regular
stock of diesel fuel . There are some Gas stations that carry the Veggie fuel on a test marketing
basis . There are even engineering experiments on going to use the veggie fuel as an alternative
to home heating 'fossil' fuels .

History Channel )
