I stopped at O’Reilly auto parts today for advice on the diesel conversion. There were several guys who had heard the concept or seen it on TV, but no one had good advice on how to make it happen. I did get a recommendation for a specialty diesel shop in the area – Diesel injector service I think it was called. I’ll see if they have any leads tomorrow. I have some vacation coming up this month, and I’d like to use some of that time to locate a vehicle.
Until then my short term goals are pretty straight forward:
Figure out the mechanical modifications needed to make the car run on straight vegetable oil
Determine the most practical candidate auto for the experiment (a combination of economics and mechanics)
Locate a vehicle. I’m officially looking for sponsors for the project, so feel free to contact me if you have a diesel you’re willing to donate!
