How can I convert the engine in my car to run on biofuels?
I drive a 1992 Toyota Corolla with a 4-cylinder engine. I don't know much about cars, but I would like to contribute to the well-being of the environment by converting my engine to run on biofuels such as vegetable oil instead of gasoline.

- If you had a diesal car you wouldnt have to do anything, im not to sure if you can run directly run a gasoline car on biofuels.
- Well one thing i do know that biofuel for a petrol/gasoline car is a lot more complicated however the better option is LPG/CNG just go to google to find your nearest fitter search for "lpg conversion xxx" or "cng conversion xxx" where xxx is the name of your town/state!
- First is your engine a diesel? It is easier to convert diesel engines. Having to change out the entire engine will be more hassle then it is worth. With a 4 banger you are already doing your part
- Any car will run on 10% ethanol blend fuel. Your warranty is not affected and no conversion is necessary. There are a few stations in the midwest where 15% ethanol is available also. The other ethanol blend gaining popularity is E85. Which is 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline, but only a car built at the factory as a flex-fuel or E85 compliant engine can use this blend. Other modifications besides the compression ratio, and the special computer under the hood are stainless steel fuel lines throughout.
- thats the reason people are having so much trouble with cars now leave it alone if it was designed to run that type fuel it would have come that way people that try to run any alternate fuel is just giving the mechanics a lot of bussiness
