an Anonymous Greaser -
Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - 14:49
I bought a 2002 F-250 a year ago and converted it to grease. My experiance has been good, easy acess to grease and not a lot of hastle. I went with the simplest conversion kit I could find, the GoldenFuelSystems voyager kit. It ran me 1800 and I installed it myself in about 8 hours. Reading the previous comment about dumping straight unfiltered grease into the tank brings up a convient situation but I can assure you when you have driven 6000-10000 miles your tank will need to be cleaned unlike prefiltered grease. There are 3 company's that make conversion kits for the F-250 one of which is Goldenfuelsystems.com, Frybrid.com and the third is escaping me at the moment. Pricese range from $1200-$5000 so it all comes down to how much of a conversion you want. The filtering of the Oil is what your going to want to spend most of your time thinking about. As filtering out in the open does take some time and is a little messy. I am planing on going to a fixed 110v motor and a filter canister to stream line the process with as little mess as possible. Hope this helps, If you have any questions or want to see some pics of my Hybrid shoot me an e-mail at Msstahl@gmail.com.
Simple is best
