iiiiii got a new caaaaaaarrrr. yay!
    #7707218 - 12/02/07 04:05 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

1997 VW Passat Turbo Diesel.  yayyyyy.  i'm so very excited.  it's in great condition, inside and out.  silver with black trim.  not super sporty or stand-outish, but still very decent looking.  no major cosmetic flaws.  runs great.  and has awesome gas mileage.  rated 32 in city, 42 on hwy, but people often report getting better mileage than that.

the plan is to drive it on a mixture of regular diesel and biodiesel for now.  convert it to a grease car a few months down the road when i have time.  i'll be able to get the waste vegetable oil from the restaurant i work at, but i need to work on getting a filtering and de-watering system for the oil.

it's the first manual i've owned, but not the first i've driven.  however, i must admit, i am nowhere near completely comfortable with it quite yet.  earlier today there were a couple of rough starts and shut downs on a hill, but i think i've since gotten over that.  i've driven about 100 miles in it today to get more comfortable and i haven't had any problems for a while, so i think i'll be straight.

it's pretty fucking awesome.  i'm excited about using bio-fuels and doing my small part to reduce emissions and petro consumption.  and it's just straight up nicer than my old car.  yay!

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of driving a stick in no time.  Especially now that the car you will be driving all the time is a stick. 

Enjoy.    :smile:

> mixture of regular diesel and biodiesel for now.

No need to mix them, you can just put 100% biodiesel in there.

My friend made this website, he converts cars to veg oil for much less than the cost of buying a conversion kit. At least use the filters he recommends, they are real cheap and you get get fresh filters at any auto parts store.

I don't think water in the veg oil is a big problem as long as you pour off the oil and leave all the water/sludge at the bottom of the container.

Excellent decision to get a diesel, I will never go back to gasoline.
