tmmorris,

Yes, I think many more folk will be flying on rapeseed, sunflower oil or other bio-diesels one day!

Amazingly, many modern diesel engines don't need too much in the way of modifications to allow them to do it. Problem for aircraft is effect of low temperature on the fuel. Difficult to use two big slabs of margarine in the wingtanks!
