Chilled man Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Where do you get the kit ? I want one now. I have been trying to get a kit from Europe but none one will ship one here. The kit itself runs around $2k + install. Around my house there is 5-6 stations you just have to know where to look ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost practically free as you can get old/used cooking oil from many restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlson Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Natural gas conversian is pretty popular back home. but damn dangerous! It someone will rear end you, a big chance that tank will blew up. people should stop bitching about gas. $4 per gallon is not bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It someone will rear end you, a big chance that tank will blew up. people should stop bitching about gas. $4 per gallon is not bad!Have you seen the LPG tanks are used in vehicles? You have other things to worry about before the tank breaking in an accident.And like ethanol, LPG's energy density is like, 3/4ths that of gasoline, so that's some substantial power loss, haha.You don't need to convert deep fryer oil into diesel, you just need to filter it. Some people go beyond that and add a shit ton of chemicals and detergent, but why bother if you're just trying to save money. Unless you happen to live in CA...
