I bought BRAND NEW tires at the end of November, and replaced the fuel pump a few months before.

But the real benefit is the extra 100 gallon fuel tank.
Has a dashboard switch to change form main tank to auxiliary and an in-cab fuel gauge.
Contains its own fuel pump & filter.
Has 50 gallon "clean" section and 50 gallon "dirty", so you can collect and filter on the go. Great for road trips.

I have an 82 vanagon camper with a 1.9 jetta diesel engine installed by the previous owner. I bought it from him in Colorado and the Colorado mechanic recommended putting a turbo on it to give it more horsepower and gas efficiency. However I cant find anyone in TX to do it, well at least in the Dallas area. So i was wondering if anyone knew how to do it or knew anyone in Texas or close to Texas that would do it.

I'm looking to get a 1994 F350 and convert it to wvo. All the conversions I've seen with big diesel trucks have an added heated tank for the veggie oil. Many Mercedes-benz's do not have this second added tank, and just have a heated filter/seperator and/or a heated fuel line that will get the oil to temperature. Will this also work for a big truck?

Thank you.

Hello,

Can anyone refer a reliable conversion mechanic in the Atlanta area. I live in the Decatur area but am willing to drive some for a good mechanic. Thank you.

Selling my 1996 Ford F-250 with turnkey WVO system. Everything you need to collect, filter, and run on free waste veggie oil is installed and fully operational. The truck has had one of two stock tanks modified to hold the WVO. This leaves the entire 8 foot bed free to accommodate an insert or whatever load you need to haul. The WVO collection and prefiltration equipment is entirely portable so you can collect and filter grease wherever you are. If you are looking for a heavy duty truck that you can run all day everyday without paying for fuel then this is the system for you. Do the math and decide how fast you’ll earn back the price.

The truck features:
New tires
New glow plugs and wiring harness
New water pump
New serpentine belt
178k miles

The installed WVO system on the truck consists of:
HotFox in-tank fuel heater
Davco coolant heated filter/dewaterer
Arctic Fox inline heat exchanger
ISSPRO fuel level sending unit (your old mechanical sending unit will not last long in WVO)
Digital Fuel Temp. Gauge
Vacuum Gauge (to monitor filter life)
Heavy duty 3-port solenoid valve to switch fuel return and to purge)
Gates biodiesel safe fuel hose
Gates High Quality Coolant Hose
12v WVO booster pump
Push Lock clampless barbs

Hey guys,

So I'm in the initial stages of planing for a Photo/Video documentary. We would like to send a message about the need for a more efficient fuel and we thought the best way to do this would be to convert a bus or an RV to run on WVO. I

understand the need for a standard diesil tank for warm up and cool down and I've heard the conversion quoted around $1200.
We have a special need in our case though as we will be traveling all the way up to Alaska, which is about as rough as it gets for WVO fuel I would assume. Does anybody know what it would take to convert a large vehicle to run in such inclimate weather? Or, if anybody knows of any California-based conversion companies I would appreciate any info.

Thanks for your help,
Jim

I am trying to start a mobile business and I really want to go green with it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm doing. I have a restaurant that will give me WVO but I dont know how to convert that into a usable fuel.
I need to know what equipment I need, how to get the oil from one place to another, and how to filter and convert it.

Can anyone help me!?

Hi,
Does anyone know of a reputable place in or near San Diego that can convert a 1987 Mercedes 300 TD Wagon as well as a 1987 Ford F-350 6.9L dually? email me at sandiegointerpreter @ gmail . com

Can someone please tell me 2002 7.3 powerstroke diesel can be converted to run on wvo? And if so, some resources as to where I can get instructions, list of items needed, etc. Thank you for your help.

Can anyone recommend a reliable shop or business in LA that performs WVO engine conversions?

We have had this converted by Greasecar of Spokane to run on waste vegetable oil. The system cost around $4000 to put in and includes a separate heated 40 gal fuel tank and fuel gauge with an automatic switch inside the suburban that purges the engine of diesel and runs the veg oil when it gets to the right temperature. When we had it converted we had a very nice expensive fuel pump put on, the injector pump was replaced, it got new batteries and a new alternator. Everything ran great until last week when it just seized up on us while driving. The guy we took it to says it was out of oil and needs a new engine? We just had the oil changed and never noticed any smoking or leaking at any time. It always appeared to run solid. We don't know enough about engines...our loss could be your gain if you know about diesel engine repair and could replace it on your own. We would love to have this repaired but it's probably more money than we want to spend if we have to pay for labor so we're upgrading to another veg oil truck. We'll still run veg oil, it's cheap, easy, and clean. The body is straight, no rust, 4WD, leather interior in good shape, tires are ok, AC works great, 3rd row seating. Transmission runs very smooth and was probably replaced before we bought the vehicle. It has a tow package and gets great mileage for its size. It has the power to tow pretty much whatever you want. Veg oil runs the same as diesel so it doesn't lose any power that way. If your interested, we have a pretty easy and inexpensive setup in our garage for refining the waste vegetable oil so it is clean and water free and can be used for fuel. We'd be happy to help you get set up. If you're interested in cutting your fuel costs and doing something good for the environment this might be a good way to go if your mechanically inclined. We might also be interested in hiring you to fix this for us if you have experience and references.

I'm buying a cheap 1970 220D 5 speed and want to explore converting it to WVO or SVO this summer. I've scanned the forums but haven't seen anyone discuss a pre-1980 conversion. Has anyone else converted an antique Benz? I live in Indiana and need to know more about a winter-friendly conversion system. Thanks!

i have a 1996 dodge laramie that has been converted to run off of vegatable oil.when i took it in to get worked on they disconnected everything that was in the way and don't know how to put it back together. i was wondering if anyone in the houston area is comfortable enough with working with deseils that they could hook it all back up. if so please email me at iancherryhomes@yahoo.com

I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado, Duramax LMM motor, want to run on veggie oil. How do I get the right info to proceed?

Our one truck running on straight veggie oil equals 20 trucks running on B5 bio diesel.

This Vegistroke V3 system and 51Gal. tank was purchased from DinoFuel Alternatives and was in my vehicle for less than two months. Due to some severe financial crisis I am forced to sell the Ford, so my installer pulled the system out and cleaned it up for me.
It is in perfect shape and works perfectly. When this system is installed it is 100% fully automated!!! New this cost $3275 plus shipping. I am only looking for $2800 obo. Also, my installer has agreed to do the install for the buyer at a reduced rate from his normal rates.

Vegistroke Turn Key System

This heated standalone fuel system gives you the ability to run B100, Filtered Straight Vegetable oil, Filtered Waste Vegetable oil, Kerosene, Regular diesel, and even filtered waste motor oil in an offroad environment. Most advanced fuel system of its kind in the World today!!

This system has undergone 3 years of development and very rigorous testing to become the most reliable, intuitive and clean installation available for the Ford Powerstroke in the world today. This is the only system on the market capable of being fully 100% automatic, or manual with the simple flip of a quality rocker switch. ALL items required for the install are included except for the tools and comes with 5 day a week tech support for installation. Be sure to check out the new V3 module in the forums. These tanks have been made to our specifications, are DOT certified, and come complete ready to use. Tanks are constructed with Vegetable oil in mind, therefore have the heat exchanger built into the tank during construction. This allows for a 400% increase in heating surface area over the previous Hotfox. The system is now truly \"turn key\".

Please, feel free to contact me @ 336-706-2660 or my installer John Boger @ 919-260-5585 john_boger@bellsouth.net for any technical questions or to schedule an affordable install.
