So my wife's series 2 delica should be landing in a week or so, and normally I would fly out and drive it home, but since my sister and her husband are due with their first child any day, I was thinking good excuse for a family road trip. We have an '83 ford motorhome with a diesel engine that I'm going to "quickly" put a veg kit on, if I can source enough oil for the return trip. If I go this route, I'll pull a trailer with a tote on it (and the delica on the way home). I'm estimating 8mpg, which will use just over 200gallons. I don't mind touring around BC a bit to get filled back up by numerous donors, and I can extend my standing offer to fill others up when passing through Manitoba. So, who can spare some clean oil?
Thanks
Jason

Re: Who can help fill me up in BC?
Thanks guys, and thanks to those who pm'd me with offers. However, it looks like the road trip has changed somewhat, I guess we're all flying out, and then driving home. Took advantage of some seat sales and used some airmiles to book flights last night. Just under $900 for 6 of us to fly from Regina to Abbotsford. I guess that's not bad, just not as adventurous. Thanks again everyone.
