>>15584132On Seed Oils
Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil as a way to make farmers non-reliant on petroleum. The earliest applications of peanut, basedbean, sunflower and other seed oils was as engine fuel. Petroleum companies sunk a lot of money into mills because they believed that people would be "growing" their own fuel but it didn't work out. Eventually these biofuels were replaced with a petroleum product called diesel fuel because the seed oils caused gelling (coagulation) in engines.... instead of just admitting that seed oils were a failure they started feeding it to people and now the people's arteries are gelling.
