Hi Jamey;
I don't know about the Greascar kit but the alternative fuel works.
I have a centrifuge from Simplecentrafuge.com. I believe that the long term
success of the alternative fuel use depend on two things, CLEAN fuel that is
well HEATED as it goes through the injection pump and injectors. I have a
mix and match two tank system. I have a 40 gallon tank recycled from an old
motor-home and installed where my back seat was in my VW Fox two door wagon
in which I installed a 1.6 turbo diesel engine and a VW Quantum 9Q 5 speed
tranny. It has a Jimmy transfer pump feeding a 30 plate water heated heat
exchanger, The fuel then goes to a stock VW diesel fuel filter that is
wrapped with a homemade water heated coil setup. The fuel then goes to a
pair of 3 way switches and to the injection pump. I have a 10 amp electric
heater line purchased from Fatty-Wagon on to the injector lines. I start and
stop on my stock diesel fuel system. My first trip on veggie was to Loren's
and back which went 485 miles just using about one gallon of pump diesel.
I had been running with a 1.6 turbo block that I had milled the top
of the pistons to clean them up and it was a little hard to start with the
lower compression so a couple of weeks ago I switched to another turbo
block. When I pulled the head I had about 2000 miles on alternative fuel at
the time and the piston tops and head were as clean as a whistle. I have
another 2000 miles or so on now including a trip from Washington state to my
brothers in California that was run mostly on alternative fuel. I feel the
centrifuge to clean the oil is much better than most people's filtering
systems. I have 1500 dollars in the centrifuge and another 500 or 600 in the
conversion parts. I believe that once I have about 20,000 miles on
alternative fuel I will truly be running almost for free. I am planning on a
trip later in the summer to Pennsylvania and back which will entail pulling
a small trailer with my extra fuel supply.

Hayden, your Greasecar kit arrived with all the parts in it in great
condition. I'm posting this thank you because people who do what they're
supposed to need a "shout out" from time to time.
Thank you,
Jamey
