There's a quiet "vegolution" going on in southwest Florida, as drivers discover an earth-friendly alternative to petroleum diesel -- vegetable oil. John Puig, founder of Naples Biofuel, runs his diesel car on used vegetable oil recycled from area restaurants. The used oil is carefully filtered and then heated in a specially-designed parallel fuel system. Less labor intensive is commercially prepared "biodiesel," a vegetable oil pre-treated and ready to use in any diesel engine, including marine engines.
