Here the real history of diesel UNIJET (Bosch after buying design patents from Fiat named it common rail)...

http://www.crf.it/news/I_C/2002-6.pdf

1997 The first car in the world with a Diesel common rail (Unijet) was the Alfa Romeo 156 1,9 JTD [uniJet Turbo Diesel]

It's in Italian but I will try to find something in English....

Very soon diesel engines will be so advanced there will be no good reason to buy petrol cars.

Yep, and the fact that they can easily be adapted to run on Bio-Diesel. A source of energy, in theory, that will never run out. And it'll be cheap(er).

In fact, I bet some Fiat drivers are actually doing this now. I know VW diesels are quite tolerant to it.

I've read about ppl in the US doing the rounds visiting resaurants for their old cooking oil. I bet they smell like a chippie van going past

topgear ran an old volvo on cooking oil and it worked, oil just had to be heated a bit and filtered. can't believe this especially as cooking oil goes all sticky but apparently it works and the AA verified it.

Met Cognac 99 Brava 100 HSX,

They also add a solvet. White spirit type stuff. This stops the stickyness.

From various bits on the net it seems people basically do a 60% cooking oil and 40% normal diesel. Sounds about right to me.
