was the diesel engine originally meant to run off hemp? i need to find some documentation or credible sources on this one to back up on my paper.
i did a project on desiel engines my senior year in HS i think they ran off vegatable oil originally i dont have a source though
IDK how credible it is but i found a few articles Hemp for Diesel? | Industrial Hemp Q&A Hempcar.org-Rudolf Diesel Hemp: The Trillion Dollar Crop http://www.newsnet14.com/?p=77796
I'm no engineer, but I was under the impression Diesel engines could run off a random variety of fuels, including run-off from distilleries. I know during the Nazi-Occupation, many European countries converted their engines to run off of wood gas, as those greedy Germans hoarded fossil fuels for the war effort.
