Hello again guys,
the forum wont let me reply to my last thread (says that only moderators can reply) but if the people who helped, read this then thank you very much and i have ordered a manual on CD off of e bay now Smile

anyway, on topic...
I'v been reading alot on running my deli on veg oil (as im spending £60 a week at the moment and thats whist trying to drive as little as possible!) and i am wondering if anyone can recomend a company that sell veg oil conversion kits? im not incompetant and hope to be able to fit it myself, but if the price is right then i might well let them fit it.
any advice would be great, im looking for a dual tank system.
im sorry to have started my stay here with questions, but as im sure you are aware that is what its like when you just get a new car Very Happy

Your best bet is someone reputable with good community involvement like Goat Industries:

Note that some of the e bay valve kits are cheap replicas and break valve driveshafts and things like that!

You could also try Chris from http://www.veggiepower.co.uk/ - I've met him, nice chap.

The cheapest solution would be to build your own though. There is plenty of help on the subject here:

Well,
I did a little research and ended up buying a kit off of e bay by a company called Smart Fuel Solutions, a friend recommended them. Its taken me and a mate 2 days to fit and im VERY HAPPY with the result! it was pretty strait forward and the kit included everything needed (appart from i needed to get more fuel pipe as i relocated the stock filter to the other side of the engine bay whilst fitting the kit), the only hard part was identifying the correct fuel pipes to connect things to:S there are SO many pipes in that engine bay! I took a few pics so i'l get them up soon.

anyway, all done now, all i need now is a steady supply of oil:D

Nice one, you going to go the waste oil route and filter/dewater?

I need to change my sig too since I've got the cost of making bio down to 10p per litre. Nothing more satisfying than seeing the fuel gauge above the F mark or driving past a fuel station selling diesel at 111p/l. Smile
