You're going to get a lot of fired up folks so watch out.

Fisrt do some searching here. There are a lot threads about VO. The short is this: To run your car on veggie for any time length, you need lots of heat. VO that is to cold will cause all kind of problems. A single tank conversion starts up on VO at ambient temps. And even a 100F day isn't hot enough to burn the VO competely. VO needs to be atleast 160F to burn completely. A single tank conversion is cheap and simple and will not last very long. If you're going to run VO atleast put in a two tank system. This eliminates the cold start issues, but you still need lots of heat to make things last.
