Greasecar?

with the price of diesel going where it is has anyone tried one of these kits from greasecar.com?

If you're resourceful you can build your own kit far cheaper. The key is ensuring that you have dewatered and filtered your oil.

Cold filtration is better but takes longer.

I have not done it on my truck simply because I don't drive mine enough to justify the setup cost.

I was looking at a web site called plantdrive.com for veg oil heater. my truck has 2 tanks and i was thinking of using one for veg oil. someone else on this forum said he ran veg in his without mods. i live in Florida also so it is warm most of the time. do you know, or anyone else know how hot the oil should be b-4 using it as fuel?

Rule of thumb is 120°F some will say 180°F

Since you have 2 tanks I'm going to guess you are running an OBS truck. Depending on luck of the draw you may have a galvanized steel tank. This coating may come off when exposed to the oil thereby contaminating your fuel supply.

thankyou and yes it is an obs maybe the extra tank might be a good choice.

i would say 180, the lower heat the higher chance of causing damage to the injectors, if you use a the 2nd tank i would suggest taking it out and cleaning it first, this will help with the first few filters lasting a lot longer

The OBS comes with steel or plastic tanks. My '97 reg cab has plastic. My friends '97 F-250 SC has steel. IMO plastic if far superior to steel for WVO especially since I DON'T heat the tank, just the hot fox.
