Gunner Drives on biodiesel in Western NSW (Lithgow)
Toyota Landcruiser loves to tow heavy loads on clean, green, biodiesel
Alias in Forum : Gunner

Location: Lithgow

Vehicle: 1994 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ80 4.2Litre, (Non-Turbo)

Used Biodiesel For: My first tank was in December 2005.
 
Other Comments: I had read about Biodiesel on the net and thought that producing it was some theoretical chemistry exercise, or only done by American Hippies. I was encouraged to find that people in Australia were also looking into it. The Australian motoring scene has not really embraced Diesel powered vehicles like Europe, Japan or New Zealand, although we are somewhat better than the US. To discover that Aussies were trying out Biodiesel here was great to hear, and I wanted to join in. 

 

Please note: All members have their faces and number plates pixellated in these photos. Why? Because of the ridiculous Australian Tax laws regarding the home production of biodiesel. These rules essentially make these people outlaws for trying to do the right thing and run their vehicles on a fuel that does less harm to the environment. Those members who have legitimately bought the fuel excise paid, are also pixellated to help make the point.
