Fuel oil is diesel. You can try a google on used machinery suppliers, they should give you some idea. Depending on where you are you will find someone who can help.

Failing that if you already have a gen set, adapt a scania or volvo engine to drive it. Both these engines come in the horsepower range you are asking for and will give many years faithful service providing you look after them. All you need is to securely mount the chosen engine on a 3" channel frame, preferably on manufacturers engine mounts, with a adaptor plate (easily produced by anyone with half an idea) to drive the gen motor. Make sure you have warning lights (pref buzzer) in place for oil press, temp etc and you're in business.

So GM has released press on the upcoming Vue Plug-In Hybrid. With the ability to drive 10 miles on just the lithium batteries, and get a combined 70 MPG I could really use a small SUV like that for my wife who never really drives more then 10 miles away.

The first real two-mode GM hybrid will be released this fall as the Tahoe/Yukon. The Vue will be next and the then year after that hopefully a plug-in. GM's Volt is due to be released 2012 as an electric vehicle with onboard generator powered by a fuel cell, or a turbo gas engine, or possibly a turbo diesel.

Anyone have any info?

Let me clairfy.
Right Now GM has a "Hybrid" which is essentially a large alternator that can also help power the motor via the accessory belt. This is what you see in the current Vue GreenLine and the new Aura GreenLine. Teamed up with the 2.4L four cylinder you still get 34 MPG (pretty much the same as the Ford Escape Full Hybrid for less $$$). This first gen hybrid is good for a 20-25% mileage increase.
The next gen GM hybrids are full 2-mode hybrids, this system was developed with BMW/Chrysler to be superior then anything from Honda/Toyota. This system includes two electric motors in the tranny with four planetary gears. The 2-mode hybrid will do great in the city (like the Prius) but also get better mileage on the highway (like the Honda Insight). The second gen hybrid is good for a 30-40% increase in mileage.
Now I am asking about the Plug-In Hybrid. Which is the third iteration and which you should see as a 2010 model for 70mpg. This is what I am asking about!

There is a review here linked to many other reviews:

I'm a big fan of Saturn and their philosophy. I also would rather buy and American made car. This is all really great news!
