fuck yeah 
hey zippoz, where and how did you learn to make the installments in order to convert the car? if you don't have any time to write it down, you can also show me where to go, so I can research it out . you fuckin rock! keep it up
Actually i didnt really need to learn much. Im pretty good with cars as i have never had the money or faith to send mine to the shop. When somthing breaks i learn how to fix it.
the conversion itself is fairly easy. all you have to do, is splice into your coolant lines and attach some hoses. Splice into your fuel injector input line, run some fuel lines and wire in the electrical switches.
i got my kit from www.greasecar.com and had it in with about 7 hours of work.

Q Where do you get your vegetable oil? A Most Greasecar users fuel their vehicles with filtered frying oil that is collected from local restaurants. Most restaurants are happy to give their oil away as the generally have to pay disposal fees.

that is fucking bullshit btw. over the last few months the price of grease, which is a traded comodoty on the market, has been fluctuating. many places are now being paid for their grease 
still, you can find it 
and yes it does smell like a bar-b-que when you drive on it

various resturants where i have struck back dor deals with the head cooks or staff/
altthough currently im a bit low on grease.
i only have about 20 gallons left, im probably going out tomorrow night and going to empty a few choice bins 
the thing is i personally need about 150 gallons at the moment for a long ass drive.
and it takes a long ass time in back of a resturant to pump that much

right on dude.
i thought about a conversion to run off SVO, but i decided producing biodiesel would be better at the moment because i live on a farm with multiple diesel vehicles. by the way, what kind of injector pump does your vehicle have?
