He is using STRAIGHT used vegatable oil, not the transesterfied bio diesel and plans to travel coast to coast and back on it. I heard that a diesel engine will only run so long on this stuff (straight used oil) before it quits because of fouled and carbonized engine and injectors. Is this the case? I think the list members that are familiar w/ this should e-mail him and let him know what he's in for. --Nate >>> Southard Family <southard@gis.net> 07/13/00 10:59PM >>> Hey all you BioDiesel folks! FOX 25 News had a cameo on a pretty blue Diesel Westy tonight. Check out http://www.greasecar.com/New_Home.html . Lot's of very interesting stuff about veggie oil AND turbo dieseling in the Vanagon. Those of us planning to add a turbo to our Diesel Van can see some very good photos of the conversion done on this vehicle. Check it out!
