"One of the goals of Green Diesels is to share the knowledge of vegetable oil use in a diesel engine. The two ways we do this are through teaching workshops and working hands-on with vehicle owners to convert their own diesels. We continually test new products and strategies to offer the most durable and user friendly products available. [...]

Green diesels designs and installs custom fuel systems that utilize pure vegetable oil as fuel. We charge $25/hour labor on these systems. The total price, with parts, ranges from $1000 to $1800 for a car. Trucks range from $1200 to $3200.

We work with the vehicle's owners to design a system that suits their needs. We encourage the owner to participate in part/all of the installation process. This gives owners an extra edge when it comes to maintaining their own systems.

" Welcome to Veggie Fuel Systems - Central Florida's Waste Vegetable Oil Diesel Conversion Source

Veggie Fuel Systems converts diesel engines and vehicles to run on waste vegetable oil (WVO). We provide on-site WVO conversion services in the central Florida area. We also provide do-it-yourself conversion kits, standard or custom-designed for your application. [...]

We specialize in waste vegetable oil (WVO) conversions—also referred to as straight vegetable oil or SVO. (Biodiesel, another method of using waste vegetable oil as fuel, is a different approach entirely.)

The source of the waste vegetable oil to use as fuel in your converted vehicle can typically be one or several of your local cafes and restaurants. It's usually possible to obtain waste restaurant oil at no cost, so that filters are the only ongoing expense. (For example, our filtering costs total about 20 cents per gallon.)

You will need arrangments for storing, filtering, and dispensing the oil at your home or business, and this can be done in as many different ways as there are people using waste oil for fuel."

Does anyone know of a place where you can show up up with your diesel vehicle and people will help you convert your vehicle to run on wvo?

Hopefully they would have all the tools and parts needed? Of course, payment would occur for services rendered and parts consumed.

Ideally, this would be cheaper than just paying a shop to do it for you.

Anyone have a shop like this or know of one?
