$#*t! Just had our first Lovecraft!

Just got this link from Benzbeliever.

http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/159605551/m/8241050612

Turns out a guy from the Biodiesel & SVO Discussion forum for the first time worked on a Lovecraft converted vehicle that had a "Permanent" filter!

Lovecraft is in the business to get us to use/burn more resources in making more engines! Tree huggers in disguise!

Is that a 0.5mm mesh filter?

Might as well have used a wool sock.

Works well to keep the coffee grounds and burnt fry bits in the tank from plugging the filter.

In reference to the infopop site....

"PLEASE NOTE: This filter is for use in our original systems ONLY (with rounded top) and is not needed with the kits we currently offer (with a flat top) as they are equipped with a Permanent Filter."
This is a one tank conversion that Lovecraft is saying will extend the life of your vehicle. "

Now the BS is really spewing....ugh sickening!

Something like, "New owner - new technology."

More Dirt.

I was talking to the Davco reps at the MHC Kenworth truck show tonight and all 3 of them laughed out loud the moment I asked them if they had heard of Lovecraft!

I asked about their Diesel Pro 233 filter and they said Brian still owes Davco about $50,000 for all the filters and parts he bought from them and he hasn't made any kind of payment attempt in the last year. I told them LC was under new management and right away one of the reps sent off an e-mail to his boss to get collections going.

The plot thickens.

I thought that was an ML320 CDI? Or did they ALSO trash a nice E-Class?

I am glad Davco has collections out on them since it's obvious that Brian is skimming a lot of money off the business. It's time for the lawsuits to pop up.

I am surprised the people out $50,000 aren't furious!
