$300.00 Per installed injector for rebuilt. About $500.000 each installed for new ones.

Lovecraft may be crap but is a good salesman just take a look at his business going up hill, nothing wrong with that, take a look at our president he still in office, if all that is said about lovecraft where true he will be out of business by now
C’mon guys let alone Lovecraft the guy just thinks he has the best system , everybody believes they have the best set up on the market, read the posts at this forum everybody burning wvo has the best foolproof set up on his Mercedes no matter who makes it, or if it is a home made kit.
I am not associated in any way or manner with Lovecraft I don’t even know the guy.

If you're not heating the VO in the tank and you think you have the best system, you're a damn fool (I actually have slightly stronger words I'd prefer to use).

Lovecraft's "system" is a complete joke for anyone with experience burning WVO. The water-blocking filter does not block water (any of them, they aren't designed for WVO). The heated part is not designed to make WVO thin enough to help it flow properly (it's a DIESEL fuel heater that heats enough to keep fuel from gelling).

Lovecraft is a snake oil salesman who is taking advantage of people's ignorance to make money. On the other hand, if you cannot educate yourself enough to steer clear, you deserve what you get.

That’s precisely my point the guy knows how to make money, we all know the forgiveness of the MB diesel engine burning different oils heated or unheated if you want to have a long lasting engine obviously you will heat your oil but it also will run unheated (providing it will reach the combustion chamber) for a period of time.

"You just pour vegetable oil in where the gas goes."

How ignorant, stupid, etc.
Talk about misinformation.

When you take an engine that can last much longer than 500K miles and you basically reduce that lifespan to 10-20k miles, you're doing something terribly wrong.

This is what I mean, I don’t believe any more what I read about the best way to utilize SVO I only believe what I see I have some stupid friends in Germany that have been running their MBZ on unheated SVO for more than 15 years and for thousands of miles and the cars still as good as the first time they pour the first gallon of SVO on the fuel tank I can’t understand why they are so stupid in not spending any money on heating the SVO they have been using for years with no problems. Of course I expect you won’t believe this but ask some old timers in Germany and find for yourself.
End of subject.
