He's talking about a "greasel" conversion. Store the diesel (or even
biodiesel) fuel in the normal fuel tank up front. Then fill the added
pontoon tanks with straight vegetable oil.

With this, you can have it both ways: Biodiesel up front (cheap),
veggie oil in the back (virtually free if you can strike a deal with a
local restaurant). Start & stop the engine on biodiesel from the front
tank, do all of your driving on the "greasel" in the back.

I, for one, love the idea of a diesel DeLorean conversion. Give me
something that will match the hp of the PRV and I'm set.
