I like to be environmentally conscious and use renewable resources. That's why I run my 3.2 exclusively on whale oil.

That is thinking outside the Box
Does Walmart carry it?

Of course if we all switch over to whale oil it won't be renewable for long
All those "Research' vessels won't be able to keep up with demand.

Do you melt down the blubber first or just shove it down the Fill tube solid?
Does it help with start up noise?

I have a small tryworks in the frunk, and I've connected a hose to the EGR valve - so that helps keep down the smell. Of course, getting the works going in the morning is a bit of a chore but well worth the effort for the warm fuzzy feeling it gives me.
