Gday Matt

Mate Ive a soft spot for the old VEE DUBS

I had a 69 combie camper had her 12 years
my wife had a 63 beetle untill we ran off the road one night into a tree stump

Im impressed with the stats on your bus though sounds great

Hey guys, I have a 99 s10 4x4, well becuase it was an incredible deal. 6cyl gas job.

But all of our (the familly at the farm) other vehicals are Diesels.. We are in the processes of doing Veggi Oil conversions on them all. We have 2 done and have had very good performace with them. In fact the 04 Dodge seems to run better on the veggi oil. If you dont mind takeing an afternoon each week or two to collect the vegitable oil from resturants and to filter it, its really worth it.

Red you should REALLY look into this. You being in a warmer climate would have even better resaults.

Ford model y specifications

I drive a '01 Dodge 2500 ***mins HO w/ 6 speed tranny. Pulling an overloaded cargo trailer, 6x7x10 (much like a big parachute) I am getting 15.3 mpg consistant. When running empty 21.5-22 mpg. I am adding a Stonewell as soon as it gets built and hopeing for around 18.5 - 20mpg we'll see. The truck currently has 112,000 and climbing, but running better now than when new. As far as cost effective with my yearly milage and the price differences I figured around 2.5 years to break even! However with a life expectancy of 3 - 500,000 miles (how long can you stand to drive the same vehicle) years won't be an issue. Living in East TN the diesel out performs the gas 4 fold pullng hills. As far as maintenance I change the oil and filter every 5,000 book says 7,500. Fuel filter about avery 15,000. Oil 11 qts and filter about $30 or less. Fuel filter $25 or less at Autozone. However no plugs or plug wires. Anyone truly interested in the cost difference needs to see Robert Withworth, CF at the Convention, he has a good program on cost analysis Gas Vs. Diesel. When all is said and done I'll never buy another gas for a primary vehicle.

Hey Slow,
Quite afew people have started doing that over here. Plentiful supply of oil but your truck smells a bit like fish & chips!!!!!!!!1

Regards,
Matt
