Finding an alternative fuel source is something that many people overlook when
planning their self sustainable lifestyle. You may be raising your own livestock
and poultry, growing all the vegetables your family consumes, but are you using
it a tractor to do it? If you sell goods that you produce on your homestead, do you
drive your products to market?
It is possible to live a self sufficient lifestyle without gasoline or diesel,
but if you farm with a tractor or regularly travel by vehicle, you will be in
for a shock when your tanks run dry. Fortunately alternative fuels are getting a
lot of attention these days, both at the commercial and do-it-yourself levels.
Ethanol, waste vegetable oil, and bio-diesel are all alternative
fuels that are suitable for home production. |
