Unnecessary. All that needs to be done is redesign the injection system
for a heavier oil...vegetable oil. Until that happens, there's Frybrid.

My stepvan cost me $1600 in equipment (overkill I later found out for SC)
and around $1000 installation by my garage mechanics. Last month,
starting it burned around 5 gallons of diesel fuel. The rest of the 1600
miles was all on free frying oil from 3 Chinese restaurants. We have 3
members. I gather in the truck, George stores in his warehouse and Mike
does the filtering. Three restaurants have us swimming in old frying
oil. There's around 950 gallons, tonight, settling out in the warehouse
plus another 80 gallons or so already filtered for use.

The feeling of driving around WITHOUT PAYING THEM A DIME is PRICELESS.
