@circusboy90210

@circusboy90210
It is just a screen at the pickup to stop larger debris.

what is that thing @ the end of your probe?? how do I make or get one of those?

Where can I get a conversion like this? How much does it cost? Can I do the conversion myself? Does this increase, decrease or keeps the life of the motor the same length?
Nice video!

So what exactly did you use the duck tape for at the beginning? Also can you make a list of all the material you need and where to find them to run a system like this. Thanks
Christopherabrown · September 3, 2010 at 9:09 am
It is a dodge
chris000089 · September 3, 2010 at 9:50 am
what kind of truck?
flintrox · September 3, 2010 at 10:19 am
Good observation, I havent had to pay for it yet. 32,000 miles and I cant tell any difference in performance. I feel sorry for folks who cant find enough used cooking oil. Fat burns good too!!!
flintrox · September 3, 2010 at 10:39 am
@Drbleck35 Try your mom and pop restraunts. I found out Barbeque restraunts have some to spare. The boston butt grease they dump in with it burns also. Try turkey fry places. Try your food catering services. Try your service stations that have burger and fries. Good luck. I was just trying to help. BARBEQUE places are your best bet

To find grease use your imagination: Cafeterias for schools, universities, bowling alleys, country club golf coarses that have big resturants, small mom and pop chinese places………..it helps to be a customer a few times before you ask. I have access to more oil then I can burn but it took me a long time. Also offer to buy it, you can buy used oil from someone at a better rate then they get paid for it……..and you can buy it for 10% the cost of diesel fule or LESS.

Do it yourself. Check out what I did with my older 7.3. No real reason it wont work on a powerstroke, but consult a powerstroke expert. Type in 7.3 Diesel Vegetable oil and you’ll see my video.

if you ever smell a grease trap..you’ll know there are not the same as the bin you collected grease from.
either way..using homegrown fuel is better than from foreign sources..I convert mine into biodiesel..its cheaper than converting 4 to run on grease..yes 4..put anotherway..all except for the the motorcycle..a bus, a truck( like yours), a jeep and sailboat.
Christopherabrown · September 3, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Yo Kenny,
Yes, I noticed Greg used the term universally where a “grease trap”, which separates water from grease in a disposal liine is very different from storage.
I call ‘em “grease sumps”. But he’s a surfer and I’m a gear head.
dkenny · September 3, 2010 at 2:14 pm
if my other post comes thru…
I’m not against SVO!!! nto at all. I’m pro biodiesel.. no truck conversion.
I was just clarifing terms..grease trap vs oil dumspter!! big difference..find a real grease trap..you’ll know the difference.

wat does roofin paint have to do with convertin our diesel to bio diesel ?? lol
DrBleck35 · September 3, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Dude. Since this idea caught on, I can’t find grease anywhere. If you want to go green and save him some money buy him some white roof paint.

hey how much does this kit cost my dad has a 99 powerstroke tubro 7.3 and i want to get him a conversion kit or somethin for his birth day where can i get the kit to do it
tpump · September 3, 2010 at 4:53 pm

Delticola · September 3, 2010 at 5:39 pm
From Atlanta GA, I’ve driven to Florida 3 times, Texas one, and Canada once. Burned about 1100 gallons of oil so far. Just love it, it’s really fun.
oskarkarrera · September 3, 2010 at 6:27 pm
the guy seems really nice man
Delticola · September 3, 2010 at 7:09 pm
I don’t get black smoke from my exhaust. I get blue smoke with with Diesel….old engine, 1991 7.3 Ford. When I heat my oil under a fire in a 55 gallon drum I get the water out at the same time. Yesterday I installed my coolie cup contraption for my inline oil filter got some engine coolent in my mouth, tasted terrible.
Christopherabrown · September 3, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Your prep depends on your oil source.
If you red the other comments and my replies, most of your Q’s will be answered.
stealthsniper96 · September 3, 2010 at 8:42 pm
hey i’m thinking about doing a wvo conversion. Is that all you do to filter it? I know some people have like de watering and all kinda stuff like that. and just out of curiosity do you still get the black smoke from the exhaust?
