Peanut Butter And Gas *** If you like peanut butter as I do, listen up. In 1900, Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel engine. At the time, Diesel envisioned that the agricultural communities (farmers) would produce their own fuel to burn in their tractors. To prove his theory, he ran his engine on 'peanut oil' at the World’s Fair in Paris. Peanuts create gas, and gas will burn. Since I love peanut butter, "that explains everything," by Flippen Canadian. Check out my article on "Long Lost Alternative Fuels." 🔗
