I know it is probably sacrilidge but I going to say it anyway.
Start converting so you can use the used frier fat. If you do
it right nobody will even notice except the purists.
There are multiple ways to do this, but I have decided to put a second tank
on the pasenger side of my M54A2 in place of the utility box, then put
a heater in the tank and some switching valves. Yes, I know, I have
to give up the pioneer tools and that tool box. But between the cost of fuel
and the potential threat of having the truck taken away and scrapped, I
think
this is the most painfull route. I know, this isn't a guarantee that I
will be safe.
Ok, I just got one of APB's new flame shields, so I figure I'm safe for
a while.
