Oh, he got tired of that Karma system REALLY quick when his got down around -25.

He ended up throwing a hissy fit and gave himself 500 points, which we eventually whittled down by about 50 points before he got rid of the karma system completely.

I'm not sure that flagging is appropriate, but I did notice that the vehicle mileage was not listed.

He says that he did buy a new "fuel pump," but was it installed in that vehicle?

If you notice, this car in this ad just had a new fuel pump installed. I wonder why.

$#*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!

Think it'd be a bad idea to change out the "DIESEL" lettering for one that says "BIODIESEL" if I do conversion? lol...F that, illegal fuels...

Running a WVO conversion isn't biodiesel whatsoever but the cops won't know one way or the other. Biodiesel is legal, WVO isn't and if asked what's the difference I lose people's attention the second I say "methyl ester".

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!
