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!

They did an E (maybe?) that was newish and the newspaper's site removed the article. There was mention of it pending in court. I think I found it on a http://www.mamma.com search.

Humm, looks like they finally took action. Some of the people there just couldn't grasp the concept of following two extremely simple rules.

I was looking on eBay for cars in Southern California and I saw a car being sold by True Biofuels. So I went to their website and it's Brian Lovecraft's new company. http://truebiofuels.com.

I actually feel bad for the new owners of Lovecraft, they inherited a lot of debt and on top of that, their conversion sucks.

Feel like slamming True Bio-fuels yet again?

Quote:
All kits are $425 Mercedes 1977 to 1985 $700 installed, all other models are $900
Still ripping people off.

What is THAT?

It looks like a simple mesh screen and microscopic heat transfer area.

Quote:
Mercedes Unimog 2450 1996 kit
Price: 425.00 USD
Although there are very few of these in the United States, we did convert one (from the movie Jurassic Park) It ran amazing on vegetable oil, and we made a kit for it.
I don't recall seeing a Unimog in Jurassic Park, unless he is confusing it with Ford Explorers.

Quote:
No more degraded stages of performance as your fuel filter slowly clogs. Our filter gives you a 100% flow at all times.
Yes, because it does not filter much of anything!

Quote:
A True converted engine will not require any additional maintenance, in fact, often less. Vegetable oil can slow or stop blowby (engine oil burning/smoke) requiring less oil checks and top offs.
That one is just TOO easy to slam.

Quote:
Our filter is a barrier, that blocks water/debris from entering your engine, and collects it in a trap that can easily be drained.
Doesn't that kind of go against the idea of "maintenance free"?

Quote:
Our system is called a "single tank" system.
RUN!

Quote:
Vegetable oil is not flammable
So is Diesel.

Quote:
making it much safer in an accident, or spill
Um, not any safer than Diesel.
