Palm oil eyed as substitute for motor oil in engines
Belgian engineers report palm oil from Congo supplies may replace mineral oil in engines. Palm oil costs 20 cents a gallon versus $1.40 for mineral oil, with calorific value 75 percent to 0. Trials in engines on boats and tractors show palm oil works after warming, though it solidifies in cold. Start in mineral oil then switch to palm oil. Ongoing work targets auto engines. A note mentions Oregon California line crossing and 3,835 Philippine autos last year.
