Why don't you get a hotter thermostat?

Replace all the coolant with the WVO and run it through the engine before you pipe it to the IP??

I personally would love to get into brewing bioD. Get a pickup (diesel of course) and get a pump for the trunk and pull it out completely from a waste bin. The feed the WVO into your brewing system and get it goin!

BREWING biodiesel is a great extender for conventional diesel fuel stocks ...

HOWEVER, Lovecraft was not doing anything of the sort.

I know. I just wanted to interject how interesting brewing biodiesel would be and how useful it would be.

Lovecraft was just... a fail. Complete fail.
