Why aren’t more people using SVO?
The technology to run a diesel on SVO has been around for over a century. In fact, in 1900, Rudolf Diesel debuted what would later be known as the diesel engine at the World’s Fair and it was fueled by peanut oil. His original intent was for farmers to produce the seed and extract the oils to fuel their needs. However, at this same the petroleum boom started and Rudolf’s colleagues swept his idea under the rug. As diesel became more available, it was cheaper to use than seed oils and became the preeminent fuel for diesel engines. Let’s face it, money influences decisions. If diesel prices were $1.00 at the pump, you wouldn’t be looking on the internet for a cheaper way to fuel your vehicle. As fuel prices continue to rise and the world’s energy supply continues to diminish, more people will seek out alternative ways to fuel their driving habits. SVO promises to be a good alternative to non-renewable fuels as we head into the future.
