For the gaskets - if you pay attention to the site - first off you need to start it with the regular diesel. Secondly that was the orignal point for Diesel engines was to run off of peanut oil. Third the site claims that it has more lubercation properties than regular Diesel fuels. They are even running a Mack Semi on this stuff hauling a trailer (the huge 14+ Liter Straight Six engine)!



I'd personally run the vegatable oil in my vehicle...
