First and foremost… sorry about not having pics yet. Way too much going on this weekend. Secondly… this fucking kicks ass. > [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > 👏 congrats on the conversion… becareful when “collecting” oil they can nail ya pretty good if you get caught. > > Veggie will result in a low MPG since its not as powerful. But the upside it doesn’t run as rough it should be much smoother. The smell is also greatly improved. You can also mix veggie and diesel and switch from tank to tank whenever you want to. > > The only reason one would run diesel is to heat up the veggie oil make it less viscious. > > Jack one thing you will have to look out for is the filters… they collect a lot of water… so stock up on about 5-10 of them at a time. And be extremely conscious of any kind of water going in… they filters plug up quick. > > What kind of gauges do you have to monitor your system? Is it manual or automatic? Right now, I have all the oil I need for the next 5-6 months. Its all water free. I have a case of 1 micron Donaldson filters which also remove water if need be. I’m hoping to find local free sources, at which point I will go with a dieselcraft centrifuge. > [@sedlmeier101](#): > > you can actually be fined by the government because you are not paying road tax which is included in gasoline prices. > fucked up, i know. Because I’m still using #2 diesel to start and shut down the truck, they are getting taxes from me. More taxes than they were when I was running offroad fuel from the rez 🙂 > [@slasky](#): > > if you have any questions, most of my friends have been running on WVO for years.

> [@Jack](#): > > Do they want to sell oil? I’m looking for a closer source. I’d like to check out their systems… see what they might be doing differently. they are in rochester. i dont think they have alot of oil to spare now that they all bought trucks. the one guy im buddies with as well as lasky, his name is sean and he built his own kit for his GM 6.5L. i think its in a 99 gmc/chevy. tank in the bed, heat exchanger in the tank, tube inside a coolant hose ran from the front to the back and a electric heater before the injection pump for real cold days. he just gets his oil from local restaurants and filters it himself with filter bags and a stand and a jug. runs both his truck and his/his wifes benz diesel wagon on it.

> [@dreid](#): > > whats the kit run price wise??? This kit was $3200. As of today, I have about $6000 tied up into everything, including 6 months in oil. Before yesterday I was spending $600 per month in fuel. When you do the math, the kit was worth it. Some of you will think I’m crazy after reading that, cause I could have bought a 32mpg Honda with that much… but a Honda can’t fit 6 comfortably and still pull a double wide behind it. ---

we have a guy that comes to our pizzaria to collect out oil so he can filter it for his car. just go to family owned places and most wont care if you want to take there oil. just about a year ago the company who pickes it up use to bill us, now its just free pick up bc alot of people want it ---

im sure they have a contract with buffalo bio diesel or something to that effect… just take a drive by and if you see the barrels… then there should be a label on them. ---

Buffalo Bio is a joke. Nobody seems to know what the hell they are doing over there, and they want $0.41 per pound for oil. They do want my oil guy’s information so they can buy filtered oil at my price… then they said they would match it. I’ll see what I can do. ---
