Flickr biodiesel photos
Now and again here at AutoblogGreen,
especially on weekends when people have a little bit of time to investigate a site on their own, we’ll take a
peek at recent Flickr photos that have a green car technology
theme to them. We’ll pick out some of our favorites and give you a chance to nominate your own faves in the
comments. Today, we’ll start by looking at some photos tagged as “biodiesel”, of which there are
currently 807.I’d really like more information about this image. Are those giant inflatable frogs atop that Biowillie sign? Is this truck on the road somehow, or is it part of the truck stop’s signage?
I like this picture, of a green Vanagon that is powered by biodiesel and drives around displaying the words of Michael Franti on the back.
And this picture is part of a series of images of someone building a biodiesel processor out of an old water heater. If anyone is interested in tackling this process, this is what you’d be getting into. It’s a lot of work and a lot of fun.

The picture of the frogs is taken from the Gas Station (or should it now be Veggie Oil Station) in Carls Corner, Texas. A little city on I-35 between Dallas and Austin. IIRC, this was the first station where you could buy BioWillie fuel.
The frogs have been a part of the display at Carls for many years. I believe they came from a, now defunct, Mexican food resturant in Dallas.
That gas station has been known for unique displays for many years.

Thanks. What other quirky displays has the station put up?
