I could go on and on about why you SHOULD do what this page will eventually tell you how to do. But not today.
There are lots of people running vegetable oil (SVO) in their diesel cars and trucks. Several websites offer kits to modify your auto, and there are several companies that will install the kit for you. This page is not intended to sell you anything or do any services for you.
My webpage is intended to provide the average do-it-yourselfer with the information needed to perform a SVO conversion. No, I don't want your money.
So why go to all the work to post the information here, when you can just buy "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" by Josh Tickell or endlessly search through veggie forums?
Our country is almost hopelessly dependent on petroleum fuels imported from far away. When will the supply run out? When will our planet be uninhabitable by humans because of the poisonous greenhouse gasses we constantly put into the air? When will we look for alternatives with our tax money rather than funding foreign wars?
Okay, enough ranting. The more people run their diesels on SVO, the more money stays in our economy, the more carbon dioxide is prevented from entering the atmosphere, the more global warming is slowed, and the more reason not to go to war for oil.
You can convert your diesel to run on vegetable oil. The instructions for doing so are FREE. It will cost between $200 and $800 to do the conversion, but the conversion will eventually pay for itself in fuel savings.
On this web page, you will eventually have instructions for converting your diesel to run on straight vegetable oil (SVO), diagrams for installation, lists of items needed and sources of procurement, and pictures of a completed installation.
This information is Free. However, you should visit other sites for more information before taking the plunge. Do as much research as you can. Find out if your car or truck is suitable for conversion, and what extras you will need to make it work. Make a budget based on what features you want for your conversion, and try to stay within that budget. Try to find other veggimobile owners in your area to help you.
DISCLAIMER: The writer of this page and all information included on the page is not responsible for errors, mistakes, mishaps, failures, or other problems encountered by the reader if the reader performs a conversion and incurs any expense.
