Think outside the waterbox for a moment!

My method- I bought an 86 syncro that I will soon swap out to a diesel
TDI that I will run bio-diesel through.
( only 90 k on a rebuilt waterboxer so ican't bring myself to transplant
from her while she is still healthy!)

81 caddy truck-white - on bio d

Don't limit yourself to a wimpy 1.6 diesel engine- think bigger, faster,
cleaner, better mileage!  You can make bio-d really easily and then you
don't have to worried about a dual fuel system and all those hassles.
