Veggie Oil powered generator

A knackered old 2 litre Mercedes diesel engine (without modification) hooked up to an old compressor pump motor (from a disused meat processing plant) tweaked to run as a generator. This puppy kicked out enough kilowatts to power and heat (by tapping off the hot water) the average home with ease. The whole lot (apart from the fuel filters), including the vegetable oil were scrap and cost nothing. See Vegburner for more info.
