SUNFLOWER OIL RESEARCH PROJECT* G.L. Pratt., K.R. Kaufman., L.F. Backer., J. Walter., M. Ziejewski Sunflower production in North Dakota in 1981 is approxi-mately 2.,250.,000 acres. Most of the sunflower seed pro-duced is processed into cooking oil. Farm production in North Dakota has been hampered byoccasional shortages of petroleum fuels. Sunflower oilhas been suggested as a fuel that would serve as an alter-native to diesel fuel during periods of petroleum shortage.Sunflower oil used as fuel could insure a supply ofagricultural products if petroleum supplies are unavailable. Substitution of sunflower oil for diesel fuel is notrecommended at present because effects that the oil mighthave on engine parts have
