Yes, we all want to pay $2.29 a gallon for Diesel instead of $1.84 a
gallon for
gasoline.

In the rest of the world this advice would be considered dangerous, since
the authorities have a right to check what's in your tank.

It might be unlikely that an 'ordinary' user who happened to do an
occasional deal with farmer will be caught, but a farmer whose consumption
is unexpectedly high can certainly expect sanctions.

However the US may be different 'automotively' I would be surprised if the
US were any different in this respect.

(My short and rude respone to your advice is "horse manure".)

Yeah, but its expensive to convert a diesel engine to run on methane
(though it is done pretty often....)

Nomen is full of crap as usual. It is very much illegal to run fuel
that hasn't been taxed in an on-road vehicle.

Dori, it would be easier to follow your posts if you set your reader to
bottom post.
