Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rudolf Diesel was the father of the engine which bears his name.

Periodic petroleum shortages spurred research into vegetable oil as a diesel substitute during the 1930s and 1940s, and again in the 1970s and early 1980s when straight vegetable oil enjoyed its highest levelof scientific interest.
