Chip fat could have weight implications
Chip fat could have weight implications

About half of the new cars sold in western Europe are diesel-powered, compared with five per cent in America.

This is because most Americans think that ‘… diesel cars are loud, smelly and environmentally unfriendly’, reports a leading US auto industry magazine.  Moreover, claims the publication, Americans do not understand any of the technology that has helped to make low-emission diesel cars so popular in Europe. For all they know, diesel cars run on chip fat.

Listen up, America. Diesel cars do not run on chip fat, or burger oil for that matter. If they did, not only would they be noisy and smelly, there could be weight implications, too.

  1. Haha…
    But I got the impression that more and more Americans WANT diesels - but the OEMs don’t offer them.
    My Roadster is fine: it runs on Pural Depoder :)

  3. actually most diesels will run on chip fat. The newer crds can run on modified chip fat as biodiesel.
