Too good to be True .. Diesel to Veggie Oil for $1500 ?
I have not checked this out yet so I make no claims about this
idea... See http://www.dieseloilconversions.com/index.htm They have a Converted BlueBird in their inventory ... This sounds too good to be true in these days of $3.00 Plus Diesel Fuel.... On the Website they claim to do conversions for $1500 for dual tank system. I found this link on the http://seattle.craigslist.com website. Dave Beatty 83 FC35SB (BirdCage) Federal Way, Washington |

I have heard that it smells really good as well when the motor is
running. (really, no joke).

Have you guys not heard of this sooner? Check out
http://www.greasecar.com also. They had a big MCI that had been converted with about a 100 gal tank. I've read that the vegetable oil is actually GOOD for the injectors for lubrication and you'll get the same MPG as diesel, it just would be "free" and not as much pollution. Although I bet whoever's behind you on the interstate would be having some hella-munchies! And coincidentally I came across a guy tonight with a VW TDI Jetta with a kit from Greasecar. He said he's had it for about a year and the only problem was a solenoid that just went out. There's a group here in Asheville I'm actually talking to tomorrow about doing a veggie conversion on my two Bluebirds buses w/ 8.3 Cummins pusher. Asheville is really big on the environmental stuff so it'll help with exposure. I really just wish I already had a WVO (waster vegetable oil) conversion done on our big bus that gets 4-5mph. There's no way I could afford to run that thing now. Less than two years ago I was filling my partybus up for $1.32/gall. Now it's easily doubled...in less than 2 years!! Has anyone salary doubled in the same time?? Didn't think so. The only real problem I can see is supply, especially for RV'ers. It would be much easier to do it local and have your drum already set up for them to dump the waste oil in. I think it would be much harder to fill up on WVO on the road. Although, I have heard of people doing it. At least with these systems you can still run diesel when the WVO is not in supply. If anyone is interested, I can keep this board posted on what I find out and if I decide to convert, I can keep you posted. Of course if everyone did it, there wouldn't be any WVO to get to everyone, but I think "free" fuel would be awesome if you could crunch the numbers to offset the cost inital installation, storage drum, filters, etc. Not to mention the environmental factors as well as sticking it to the oil companies.

Yes
This is not news.. But the new high diesel cost is. I guess when the price broke $3 ... My interest increased.... I for one would be interested in any new info you have about lower cost option to run the BlueBirds.

Also..
http://www.greasecar.com http://www.greasecar.com/product_detail.cfm?prodID=17 is selling the kit for under $1000 to do the conversion to dual fuel (Veggie or Diesel).

If you want to try biodiesil you can buy it at the pump. In Olyimpia
Wa. it is $2.95 a gal. I found the location on Bio-diesel.org then clicked on buying bio-diese, guide, bio-diesel retailers. I called the store in Olympia and got the price. This product is already processed. I called Vehical Systems about the Aqua-hot and they said no problems. |

For some reason I get the below error message when I try to access
the website you mentioned below.... Maybe caused by office network firewall. I will try again tonight from home.
