wait, wait, wait!
we have a veg oil car, and are having so much trouble finding good oil! almost all the stuff we’ve found has suspended water in it, which wears on the injector pump– have you guys had any trouble with this?
Where do you get your oil? any restaurant? certain kinds?
How do you filter it?
Thanks so much for any tips- we’re almost ready to give up!

I’m sooo jealous that you’re able to run on grease! Jim and I looked into Golden Fuel System’s setup for our Dodge (http://www.liveworkdream.com/specs), but with the hitch in the back of the truck, and the toolbox, we can’t put a grease tank in. So we’ll settle for biodiesel for now, and continue forking out $800 plus a month in fuel. Grrr!

The love of my life and I (we’re in our late 20′s) have decided to leave our 9 to 5 jobs in February ’08 , buy an RV an go “fulltime”. We’ve been researching all aspects of fulltiming and buying the right RV for us. You have inspired us to buy a diesel and have it converted to a veggie oil engine!!! . We decided last night that we’re definitly going to do it! (We’re going to buy the Wonder clean washer too!!) Thank you so much for this website, it’s a great source of information and education about sustainable living in an RV.
Thank you! – Kelly

We’ll be in NC mid-late November…possibly early December. That leg is still in the works.

Oh the irony of finding oil in the Boondocks!
When are you guys heading to NC? Raleigh preferably or the surrounding area.
