I like it a lot actually.

I am installing WVO kits built for the Ford Powerstroke diesels. A good friend of mine is part owner in the company and he is feeling the pains of growth and trying to keep up with demand. So they are expanding and going to include installs at the shop on a regular. Looks like I get in on the ground floor of yet another business...not sure how this keeps happening.

But yeah the work is good the other two guys I work with are both really cool guys (both part owners) and the pay is awesome enough for me to make a 45 mile (each way) commute every day they need me to in my 9.5mpg truck.

Link is in the sig if you wanna check it out a bit.

I'm jealous! I'd love to do something I'm really passionate about. Sooo bored w/ computers lately.


Mythbusters had a veggie oil test (might be old?). They showed a regular diesel Mercedes f/ the mid 80s ran with no mods on veg. oil. Really impressive stuff. What is the difference w/ that kit? More efficient?
