No, not Google -- this site's search feature has a ton of maintenance tips, discussions, and tutorials on it -- it takes some work & reading to find what you need, but keep after it. Protocol on this site is that you only ask for help after you have read everything you can find in the search. Diesel Giant has some useful tutorials on his site, too.

For veggie lore, go to Frybrid.com & read all the archives & current stuff. To sum a lot of that up, you must have a system in place that heats the (well filtered) vegetable oil to 160F before injecting it, or you'll ruin your engine. Some people disagree with that, but I have read several accounts of people ignoring this advice & figuring they were OK because they engines ran well ----- only to have the engines die because the cold veg produced coke, which is carbon, which ate the engine up.

Good luck.
