First off - this icon is a 'thumbs up' sign, right???? If not, that's what I thought it was when I chose it!

Alright - I just took the 350SD out for another spin to see if the WVO switch would work. Well, it sure did work - I just had to hit the throttle a little as I made the switch. When the WVO started flowing, the car ran very smooth with very little smoke (if any at all) and seemed to be generally very happy.

My only concern is - will it work like this all the time??? I know GreaseCar sells an auxilliary lift pump to help the stock lift pump, but it costs $100+s/h so I would like to avoid it if possible. The folks at GreaseCar said they think it may still be another problem with the installation, so I will make sure everything else is set up properly before I jump into the aux pump thing.

As far as the quality of GreaseCar products - I have been very happy with the system in my VW, but the fuel gauge that was included with the kit for my Mercedes was defective. I sent an email to GreaseCar and they responded that another gauge would arrive in 3 days, so I think that's pretty good service. They have also been very helpful with my fuel flow problem, so I don't really have any complaints. I understand that this system is still somewhat expermental and I know that every car is slightly different, especially when we're talking about installing these things on 15-year-old cars with 200k miles and more. In other words, I haven't lost my patience yet! The payoff is still driving past every gas station thumbing my nose at the poor saps pouring their hard-earned dollars into their tanks at the rate of $3.27/gallon!
