An economic crash like the one of the 1920s is the only thing that will get the US off of the road to Socialism that we are on and give our children a chance at a future with freedom and possibility of economic success.

Where I live the extreme lows are in the teens for a week or two. With a tank heater french fry bio works in my scout with a nissan 6cyl turbo diesel. It has two tanks so one is diesel and the other is french fry. I switch to the diesel about 5 miles before getting home so it doesn't clog the carb and fuel lines in the winter. I think it starts to solidify at 40 degrees.

  Heck, i'm still trying to figure out where the "carb" is on one of those Nissan 6 cyl. turbo diesels??
