DESCRIPTION:::**::**::Biodiesel Car Show::**::**::   Saturday March 27, 2004 10 am- 3 
 pm - FREE!   Downtown Berkeley Farmer's Market   Allston Way between Milvia 
 Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way   Get inspired to end your petroleum 
 addiction! Say goodbye to foreign   oil dependence and spewing greenhouse 
 gases with a biodiesel vehicle   the like of which you'll see on display by 
 the dozen at the Biodiesel   Car Show. Mercedes, Volkswagens, schoolbuses 
 and fire trucks and more   will be there to show off the power of 
 vegetable-based fuel. While   seeing, smelling and experiencing the magic 
 of combusting grease in   state-of-the-art machines and classic rides, 
 mechanics will be on   hand to demystify the diesel engine. The 
 demonstrations on biodiesel   basics, production and troubleshooting your 
 vehicle will satisfy your   curiosity about the nation's fastest growing 
 alternative fuel at this   event hosted by the Berkeley Biodiesel 
 Collective.   Biodiesel fuel has many advantages to petroleum diesel- its   
 renewable, recycled, non-toxic, biodegradable, and domestically   produced. 
 100 % biodiesel fuel reduces emission of greenhouse gases   by 78.3%, 
 particulate matter by 55.4%, hydrocarbons by 56.3%,   mutagenicity by 
 80-90% and sulfur by 100%.   And this fuel can operate in any diesel engine 
 without any major   modifications.   A little known fact is that the diesel 
 engine was designed to run on   a variety of fuels including vegetable oil. 
 At the 1898 World's   Exhibition in Paris, inventor Rudolph Diesel 
 demonstrated his new   combustion engine-- running on peanut oil. Over 100 
 years later we   return to Dr. Diesel invention as a solution to global 
 warming and   energy independence. The Berkeley Biodiesel Collective 
 celebrates   Rudolph Diesel's birthday- March 18, 1858- with this car show 
 with a   twist!   Saturday, March 27, 2004   Time: 10 am- 3 pm   Location:
