Lovecraft is one of the worst SVO conversions ever. It scares the cylinders AND cokes the injectors! Your poor vehicle will die a long , but painful death. If you're going to do a veggie oil conversion at least do a dual tank WVO set up and preheat engine. Lovecraft DOESN"T do that. Oh man seriously? Lovecraft is one of the worst SVO conversions ever.

(been delayed in writing this comment, was excited to see your article a few weeks ago on this) There are many roads to sustainability, and the biofuels road is definitely one. I actually purchased an 85' SD300 Benz a number of years ago (2004?) and built a bio-diesel processor...the whole 9 yards. Was fun finally having a sunroof, too! I was living at an eco-village outside of my town of Eugene (www.lostvalley.org -- great permaculture programs, and much more), so it was a blast giving people rides into and back from town in my Golden Bio-Benz. The down side of it was that I was living way outside of Eugene -- by about 18 miles...the commute was nice, but, ironically, not very sustainable. I took the plunge, moved into town with the family, sold the car, gave the biodiesel processor to the community at the eco-village...and started riding my bike. Suddenly, an 8-15 minute commute--by pedal power no less! And I bought a new laptop with the proceeds. :) Going straight veggie, obviously, makes more sense than doing biodiesel. My twin brother is still aiming to buy a Benz and do the same thing you're doing. Anyone can change the bulbs in their house from incandescent to CF. Your step is a little more gutsier. May you inspire others with it... -Vince "the green v" Good for you, Cody! (been delayed in writing this comment, was excited to see your article a few weeks ago on this)
