Bessie gets an earth friendly fuel conversion! For the greasemonkeys out there, let me explain the fuel system. We use a filter wand and transfer pump from plantdrive.com to pick-up veggie and put it into a 55 gallon drum (on board dirty tank). The secret is we get clean veggie from Japanese restaurants and pull from the middle where there is no water or dirt, then pull the same way from the dirty tank into a 60 Gallon trekker. Coolant heats the trekker tank, and the veggie then passes through a coolant heated fuel processor called the Vormax, which filters to 10 micron and removes any water. The Veggie and Diesel tanks are hooked up to a 6 port switch with a looped veggie return, and the fuel out goes to the stock lift pump, then the injectors. Right before the injectors there is a VegTherm Mega, which turns on when you switch to veggie and heats up almost instantly. This is nice because you can run veggie long before the coolant heats everything, and it makes sure you don't shoot any cold veggie through the injectors.
