Britt, 

I don't know anyone personally who's currently using SVO in theirdiesels, but 
I saw a great film recently at the Sedona Film Festivalcalled Fields of Fuel. 
It won an award at Sundance as well as in Sedona.  Awesome,well-rounded view 
of alternatives and making a case for using whateverbiofuels we can and pros 
and cons of each, what's on the cutting edge, etc.  You can find out more at 
http://www.fieldsoffuel.com/. 

The reason I mention it is that one of the success stories the filmshares is 
NYC-based Tri-State Biodiesel.  They collect veggie oil inlarge trucks and 
turn it into biodiesel.  I know it's not quite whatyou were looking for, but 
it's a huge step in the right direction, andperhaps a contact for you in 
finding people doing what you want to do.  You might find other contacts on 
the Fields of Fuel Media, Team, or Partners pages.

I made apost today on the same list about an additive I learned about 
thatallows one to use veggie oil without a conversion.  That site, in 
caseyou're interested, is http://www.dieselsecret.com/index.html.  If you 
hear about positive or negative feedback about this, please let me know.

Good luck!

These people have a few opinions on the VO additive dose and go thing, and 
they
don't seem to think that it works.

Theres lots of mythology around this, a friend told me that he simply filtered
the oil then mixed it 50:50 with diesel, so I strated stocking up, the people
above believe that this is a recipe for engine disaster.

One project that we have in mind is to use surplus electricity to run a "bingo
fuel" producer http://jlnlabs.online.fr/bingofuel/html/bfr10fr.htm  I wondr if
anyone has experience of this. We're not looking for over-unity or anything
magic like that simply a reasonably efficient way of transforming electricity
into a vehicle fuel.
