ForcedInduction is right on the money. Your going to need a two tank system like I have. We install greasecar kits and they have been working out great. Your going to need to order a greasecar kit, with co-polit or vo control. Then replace the plastic pex tubing with alum tubing, and install a 30 fphe. Your also going to want to insulate all of your fuel lines and radiator lines with simply pipe insulation you can get from home depot, or lowes.

I'm sorry to say it, but stay away from lovecraft.

Good luck, and remember to do a lot of research before you spend a dime.

These area great suggestions, and you basically end up with a frybrid kit
But frybrid doesn't have copper in the fuel tank.

I don't think frybrid installs kits anymore, from what they've said on the forums, they're focusing their time making kits and only install on cars that they don't make kits for (probably so they can study up to make a kit for it).


A veggie oil kit requires tinkering with the car from time to time and tinkering with your filtering setup more often...because there's always ways to improve it ...but if you're willing to spend some time with it, the kits are not rocket science and can be installed by home mechanics without too much swearing and wrench-throwing...
