so are you just filtering it with your setup in the garage and then pumping it into the tank in the back of the rig and then heating it as it is pumped through the fuel system on the rig? Ie is this filtered non chemically altered wvo? or are you making biodiesel via the titration procedure in your garage system? I need to do either the bio diesel processor or buy one of these systems, thanks for any information.

IT is straight Veg Oil heated in the tank and burned. No Chemical alteration that would be Bio Dino. The key to burning WVO in a D Max is WVO cleanliness. I am not a big fan of Bio Dino as you have to mess with chemicals that I understand is getting expensive and you still have to filter it. So why not filter and burn. Greasecar will have a kit for the D Max in 2 months.

Right on! so do you kow what your kit cost or what the kit will cost, I have two diesel pickups and would love to have it for both of them. I don't drive all that much right now, but if fuel was cheaper I would do alot more traveling, what is the distance range on you dmax when full?

Is there an email list you can get on when geasecar gets the kit available for sale to the public? I'm about ready to start making biodiesel, but always wanted first to just have a wvo system.

I don't really know but I would guess between 2500 and 3000 which at todays fuel prices payback is pretty quick less than a year.
Ave annual miles 15000/ 18 mpg = 833 gal x $4 per gallon= $3332 ya that will work.
My Range is about 5000 miles on both tanks

Basshopper: don't really know but I would guess between 2500 and 3000 which at todays fuel prices payback is pretty quick less than a year. True.:eek: :eek2:
my question to Basshopper..
Ave annual miles 15000/ 18 mpg = 833 gal x $4 per gallon= $3332 ya that will work.How much you use WVO gallons in what you drove ?
How much mpg wvo in your 200gal. tank you drove in city/highway?
What average MPG you use wvo when you using?
How often you fill out wvo to your 200 gal. tank?
If I install 20 gallons tank (wvo) in my "03 Duramax, how often I have to fill wvo in 20 gallons tank (wvo)? I am pretty:think::think:to build bigger tank likely yours 200 gal.

I don't track that so have no idea
How much mpg wvo in your 200gal. tank you drove in city/highway?
70% Hwy 30% City
What average MPG you use wvo when you using?
Same as Diesel Did a dino run 1 on WVO and 1 on Diesel 7Hp less on WVO thats 3% one would never miss that.
How often you fill out wvo to your 200 gal. tank?
I only fill it to the top when I go on a long trip otherwise I keep about 75 gallons in it at a time heats up faster.
If I install 20 gallons tank (wvo) in my "03 Duramax, how often I have to fill wvo in 20 gallons tank (wvo)? I am pretty:think::think:to build bigger tank likely yours 200 gal.
Don't really understand your question but would that not depend on your driving habit???? Get a Grease Car kit comes with a 40 Gallon tank.
