Dude, your truck smells like it runs on french fries...

We did a story the other day about a Crosby man who is running his Ford F-250 on vegetable oil. Talk about alternative fuel! He doesn't worry about high fuel prices like the rest of us. Instead, he heads over to restaurants to fuel "The French Fry Mobile" up.

To get this going...you have to buy a conversion kit and your car has to be a diesel to handle it. The kit will run you about $2000. It would help to know your way under the hood too. In addition, you need to have a filter in the garage to get the oil ready for your car.

You might also want to keep this fuel away from 15-year-old boys, it might cause an acne breakout.
