    BioDiesel

    First I have ever heard of either, not paying Tax on Diesel Fuel seems like a big bunch of trouble that none of us need. Of all of the problems one could get himself into this is one that the governement takes more serious than anything illegal we could get ourselves into. Checkpoints for...
