They did an article in the paper a couple of weeks ago about those kits for diesel engines which allow you to burn waste veggie oil. I have 1 main concern though, how does that affect your warranty?

Here's some links.

So Newfie, you finally admitted you are the cause of all these rising diesel prices.

Silly me, I thought we had gone to war for cheap oil.


Veggie oil? You want fries with that 550?

I'm going to invent a motorcycle that runs off water, never needs oiled or maintainence and never needs any tires replaced on it EVER.










And then I woke up...

Koa , is the dealer going to ship that truck to you for free?

No, I was going to ask you if you minded doing me a small favor and driving it to Oakland for me and getting it on the boat.

Shipping is going to add about another $4000-4500 to the cost. Another reason, Lucky You Live Hawaii.

Hmmmmmm I wunder how much BioDiesel is per gallon?

 

[treeman82]

Dave, bio is more than regular diesel Somebody from Roger's neck of the woods wrote an article in TCI about it maybe 2 years ago.

I just was out and diesel is $2.40 / gal at the cheap place around here. 87 self serve at the cheapo place is $2.24 / gal

Diesel at the pumps is around $2.25 but I have it delivered for a lot less. Last ticket was around $1.60 a gallon for taxed diesel.

We were quoted $15,000 for fuel tanks on site. That ain't happening unless there's a lease option.

It can be made for about $0.40 a gallon. Or so they say.

We've got a truck that barely rolls that we've considered converting. Funny, actually, that it's fuel tank fell off on the road this summer. Fire dept cleaned it up and brought the fuel back for us.

Maybe it's a bad omen for it to be a fuel truck, though.

Diesel here in Northern Calif. is $2.37/ Gal.

The fuel company gave us the tank and pump for free.

Really? How sweet is that! Who are you using? Do they get it back if you stop using them?

A couple of the petroleum companies here will provide a 300 gal tank as long as you buy a min. of 250 gals a month. I just checked on one this past weekend. Only problem was they did not have any tanks available. They could provide a 250 gal. plastic tank but I would need to get my own pump. Pumps are pretty cheap anyway. You can get a decent battery powered pump for around $150.
