They interviewed retired railway employees who had used Jatropha oil in locomotives and shop vehicles and have also done research on typical uses in village settings. The British used Jatropha oil in generator sets for power generation and pumping, and after the Japanese occupied Burma and cut off India's petroleum access it was used in military and civilian motor vehicles. However the fact that it worked in the simpler diesel engines of those days doesn't necessarily mean that it will work in your modern high compression diesel engine. Rudolph Diesel designed his engines to burn straight peanut oil. Good luck, and check with IR biodiesel guys at Perambur.

Raghavan Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:25:21 +0000 http://www.futureenergyevents.com/jatropha/?p=330#comment-2158 Can any one throw light on the fact that Jatropha oil is used as a substitute for high speed diesel oil in any country in th world. I can see volumes of reading material on how to grow it and what uses it has environmentally. But no one has reported its use in daily life. Surely a farmer can use it on his tractor or oil engines to draw water from the bore-well. Are there such reports?
