Not calling you out or anything, but 100 mpg seems pretty fawking unbelievable for a 4 ton cinderblock on wheels when a 2000 lb jetta with a vegie-conversion can only muster maybe 75... :thinking: Do these people have products for non-powerstroke products? I'd love to get a 2LT (or a more modern diesel) for the shitbucket and it on veggie oil.
h:
Hahaha
Well you would have to read into it a bit to understand it but the basics are this..
The system is installed and the only time your vehicle actually burns any diesel is enough to warm the veggie tank then it automatically switches over to the oil and the diesel stops pumping. This means after anywhere from 1-5 miles on diesel you stop burning diesel and start burning waste oil...which is free, hence the 100+mpg when talking about your diesel mileage.
Thats the cliffs notes version.
Granted there is no free meals in the world but it sure is a lot better to end up refueling at the pump once every couple weeks rather than once a week or better, especially if you drive a lot. In the end you really save more in fuel the more you drive and keep engine at operating temps.
The 100 mpg comes from a customer who runs a pest control business and uses this kit on his truck in mostly city traffic.
