Sorry to hear that Caleb, would have been nice to sse that.
On the SVO Note I have converted my 2003 VW Jetta TDI Wagon and it has been
running on waste straight vegtable oil for the last 1800 miles. I would have
posted here about it and updated my webpage but, I have been pretty busy since
Hurricane Charley Hit.. Hell I haven't even had time to collect anymore oil and
I am almost out :-( or put my patio funiture out that I put up before the storm
but, It's okay, there are people that have it worse than me. Worth it to help
them out.
I promise i'll get a website up for it soon... It was pretty simple and it been
running great, just a leak here or a bug there to contend with but very minor
stuff.
