Our Greasecar

We picked up our greasecar this evening at GoodOil! The proprietor was kind enough to take considerable time showing us all the features and answering my many, many questions. Basically, they removed our spare tire and replaced the space with a second fuel tank which holds the waste vegetable oil (WVO)

We'll continue to start the car using diesel but then after the engine reaches 190 degrees there's a toggle switch which we use to change over to WVO

An extra gauge was added above the steering wheel so we can monitor the consumption of vegetable oil - but at 40 mpg on the highway the needle doesn't move much

Here's a photo of the engine with it's extra hoses and filter


Craig drove the car to his volleyball game tonight and one of the first comments his teammate made was "it looks just like a regular car"
