I reckon if you raised the compression enough and made sure the engine could handle the extra compression (O ringed heads, heavy duty bearings, etc) I reckon u could get a carb'ed sube running Bio-Deisel.

Does Nitrous Oxide count as alternate fuel?

I thought N2O is not in itself actually a fuel, it would be classed more like a fuel additive, assisting in the burning process by providing more oxygen, I could be wrong, thats just what I understood.

Bucharest ? How far is that from say, Sydney NSW ?

In answer to your question...I run straight LPG in my twin carb Brumby EA81 using Impco Cobra converter and 125 mixer then feeding through to twin Hitachis minus their 'tonsils', floats and pump plungers. 80 litre useable tank in the tray

Tasbrat runs straight LPG in his EJ22 powered Brumby. Engine was adapted to run a points dizzy to eliminate the need for a computer by steve-rising-sun and friends

Wondering if Jordans suggestion is to be injected or carbed bio Diesel.

I am not sure if Diesel atomises nicely through carby jets unless under pressure. Ever tried to run Diesel or Diesel / petrol mix ? A schoolfriend once milked a Holden Gemini, (made by Isuzu) only to discover later why his mums car was sick. It was a Diesel Gemmy, not petrol.

Just a coupla litres of Diesel in 60 litres of petrol is enough to make a petrol injected system look sick and blow white smoke

I was thinking carb, didn't know how the ecu would handle running Diesel, was just a theory either way
