Joe,

I have a couple suggestions own how to save $$ with
your Deuce. You could make your own biodiesel. Go to
http://www.veggievan.com/ and take a look around. The
book "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" details all of
the how-to aspects of making and using biodiesel fuel
as well as using straight vegetable oil as a fuel.
McDonalds & Burger King have hundreds of gallons of
used vegetable oil they pay to dispose of.

Recently in either MV Magazine of Army Motors/Supply
Line, there was an article about converting a
multifuel into a diesel-only. I don't know if that
would improve MPG. List: Has anyone made the
conversion? If so, what were the results?

Have fun at the show!
