"A dense but accessible compendium of current SVO practice and theory." according to W. Taygan. Forest Gregg's book "SVO: Powering Your Vehicle with Straight Vegetable Oil" is a great contribution to the vegoil community.He has coupled an extensive literature review with substantial personal experience to create a dense but accessible snapshot of this quickly evolving science.Gregg has included lots of goodies for the SVO geeks: an introduction to the chemistry of oxidative polymerization, the basic physics and bulk modulus in vegetable oil fuel injection and a comprehensive annotated bibliography for further reading.I agree with probably 90% of his assertions, and appreciate how Gregg acknowledges the gaps in our understanding of ve. This Book is a MUST have if you are at all interested in Alternative fuels This work represents over a year of research into the use of an alternative fuel where there are no schools that teach its theory or use. The work is a compilation of different sources whether online or in traditional print.It is written in a simple conversational tone and is unassuming of the readers past knowledge base. The author even states that he hopes that the material contained within the pages becomes obsolete. Not many authors are so willing to have their work fall to the archives of "old works".

There are some issues with the use of vegetable oil fuels and the author describes the 3 various ways they can be overcome. The focus of this book is the method in which the vegetable oil fuel is heated to break down viscosit
