But not worth getting frostbite over so I'll wait a while.
IIRC it was about $1700, plus a labor trade for my custom tank. Father-in-law owns a welding business. I tried to not hack up the car so when I remove the system you'll never know it was there. This cost me a little more but it's been well worth it. Last year my wife drove about 20k miles and we spent just under $900 in diesel!
I have a delay timer for the return valve. So when I switch back to diesel the return valve doesn't close for a set time allowing me to not put VO in my diesel tank.
