Where are the vege oil conversion garages?
? on: Oct 27th, 2005, 6:32pm ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I`m `considering` having my car converted to run on vege oil. To my surprise I can`t find any garage in the country (let alone near where I live) who will take on the project.

I have read about conversion heat converters to thin the oil and books for sale on ebay about how to do the conversion yourself but I am not mechanically trained and cannot do the coversion myself.

Can anyone help?

You could try a compromise and go for the system that Mike has. They do a kit that you should be able to install, assuming you have a diesel engine.

It should be 5 or 6 hours work for a competent mechanic, and having see nwhat they did to my car, it's not that hard I think... By the way, I've had it running on veg for over 3000 miles now! Seems to use about 70% veg and 30% diesel, though that will vary for different people depending on their driving patterns.
