Pix of my Caddy veg oil truck.
 
I threw together a skeleton webpage of the veg oil conversion of my 1982
Rabbit diesel truck. More pix and much more info to come.

Same, as far as I can tell.

Too soon to know. BEsides, I think my speedo is off. Gotta check that.

>how is the performance?


About the same. I think it has a little less power than dinodiesel, but it
does not bother me. Not a big difference.

No difference there. Flip the switch and it's like nothing happened. Nice!
