Still haven't got a full on coversion kit yet, but thanks to some disscussions here and live with Glen and delicat at the CCautos day, we've started blending WVO into the diesel. Thanks to Adam for the oil and the advice and encoraugment to go full "vegan" and get that Plant Drive. Soon... really. We filled with diesel in CR and had exactly room for a 20 liter cube of WVO by the time we reached Adam's. Sure noticed the smell 8-) and she was a little rougher starting in the morning chill so as it cools even more we'll cut back on the mix. Sure looking forward to doing the full conversion. Great entertainment! Thanks again everyone! :M :-D

i am also waiting on my conversion kit. tracking says it cleared customs so i should get it any day!

in the meantime though, all summer i have been burning 50/50. lately its been a little colder and i have noticed slightly rougher starts, but no big deal really.

Sweet dog, how many jugs are you packing there?

(don't these van's ride even better with plenty of weight in the back?)

Careful with those jugs, they have been known to crack and leak. Don't ask me how I know--just thankful it was in the back of the crewcab.

:-D :-D Hah Hah!! Believe me, I thought of that when stuffing those babies in the back like that - shudder :o Happy to have arrived home safe and intact! Thanks for the sage warning! And BCDelica, we've got 9 jugs floating around back there - Got 10 from Adam and poured one in the tank. Honestly I didn't really notice a change in the ride, Hazel purrs along great all the time :wink: Thanks guys :-D :M

"Careful with those jugs, they have been known to crack and leak. Don't ask me how I know--just thankful it was in the back of the crewcab."

The slowest drive I ever had in my Deli was when driving home after picking up my first tub of oil. Not a cube with a screw down cap, but a bucket like a paint bucket with a questionable sealing lid. I put it in a big plastic bag and then inside a milk crate to help stabalize it, but there sure was a lot of pucker factor when going around corners with me thinking, "hmmmm how hard would it be to clean 5 gallons of oil out of my carpet?" Probably pretty hard.
