By studying the active transition of the countries of the “first world” from “total concern for the environment” to reality, one can discover truly unique cases that were previously difficult to imagine. The path from separate waste collection, reduction of plastic production and “reasonable consumption” to lowering the temperature in apartments and abolishing daily hygiene procedures took only a year. Jokes about burning wood are no longer jokes, but manure – dried manure – still holds up. Whether or not it will still be, it’s only November in the garden.
As recently as November 22, the French Senate – the upper house of parliament, an analogue of the domestic Federation Council – approved the use of used sunflower oil, which previously had to be disposed of as motor fuel. Only corporate parks are entitled to use the indulgence – “private traders” are not allowed yet. And here a logical person has a logical question: what is the relationship between sunflower and fuel?
It turns out to be right. Old diesel engines (not to be confused with modern units – fragile as a butterfly wing and demanding on fuel, like a famous former ballerina in the public eye) really can be filled with all sorts of inappropriate junk. Including vegetable oils. For example sunflower.
In any French catering industry, where chips or patties are served, a few liters of brown mush are formed a day, rancid from the constant cooking of the “development” of deep fat, which must be drained from the device and put somewhere. By law – dispose of by paying the appropriate organization. But purely theoretically it can also be used as fuel for transport. Naturally, it must be filtered from pieces of fried root crops, clots and other “garbage”, and then poured for a new purpose.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other modern cars from such “food” will, of course, “move horses” and only go on a tow truck. But the old and unpretentious equipment – the same KamAZ after the fifteenth shot of the engine or the Mercedes van of the 80s and 90s of release – will start. And even, most likely, will go. Yes, it will be terrible to smoke and stink of burning, it is unlikely that he will be able to accelerate, but he will move. We will not talk about ecology, but the aromas and smoke are impressive.
True, sunflower oil has one drawback – it thickens quickly when it cools, so the car is unlikely to start in the morning. You need to warm up and clean the entire fuel line – from the tank to the injectors. But these are trifles. In France it is now about 7 degrees, you can also drive on oil: economical, but nobody cares about the exhaust. “Green energy” is “legs of clay” that have nothing to do with reality, so soon we will not only be told the truth about windmills and solar panels, but also about electric vehicles. Stock up on popcorn!
