finsihed the converstion today, got the whole thing installed in about 9 hours.
I was so amazed when i flipped the switch, i didnt expect it to work, but it did! The kit and equipment cost me about a $1000, and at current gas prices it will pay for itself in the next 4000 miles, which i will be driving in the next month alone. i looked at my calendar, i have atleast 12,000 miles planned out this summer. well see how it goes.
I should say, that after driving all types of cars, and worked on many many more. that the engine actually seemed to run better, and sound better on vegitable oil.

Noetical - i get it from a few select resturants, although its hard to find one with quality oil.
Kosmic_charlie- its a older 90's box truck with a rv built into the back it has a 6.2 detroit diesel engine. The same ones they use in military hummers and k-5 blazers

You are my hero Zippos. This is a great idea if it works out. I can see three possible problems....
1) Not putting it together correctly 2) Obtaining enough vegetable oil 3) Not being able to fix it if problems occur
I really hope I'm wrong, though. Please keep us updated on this.

i thought this was a farce. i mean seriously, do you expect your truck to continually run on veggie oil for the rest of its life? i have nothing but questions and speculations even though i dont know what the fuck im talking about. you would think that if this works so good a lot more people would be doing it, with gas prices as high as they are nowadays.
