Undo the last post...I just can't bring myself to buy a kit. There is just too much engineer in me. So, back to the drawing board, so to speak.

Frybrid or Custom?

I've been back and forth about whether to buy an off the shelf kit, build my own, or cobble together some combination thereof. As you can see from my previous post, I was going down the "build my own" path. That is, until this post.

The margin for error is honestly very low with WVO conversions. Looks like I'm going with the Frybrid solution due to best in class engineering/parts, and most importantly, an on-board controller that intelligently switches between the two fuel systems.

I think I've finalized my WVO setup, the key features include:

• Custom vegoil fuel pickup
• Custom vegoil fuel tank (plastic or steel)
  
• Custom Hose in Hose fuel line (HIH)
• Custom heated fuel filter
  
• Dual 3 way fuel valves (Frybrid)

I'm really excited about fabricating a few of these components, especially the HIH. Chris Goodwin from Frybrid was good enough to post a high-level plan.

I'll build a few prototypes just to be sure I don't fsck something up. :)

Do It Now!

I found this post especially inspriring. So much so that I've started to implement some of the suggestions. Especially those items under "Do It Now!" and "Failure is your friend". I'll check back and post my results....hopefully there will be some growth in this area. I need it. ;->

How not to ask for help

This is a *perfect* example of how *not* to ask for help on an Internet forum. This particular forum deals with waste/straight vegitable oil conversions for diesel engines.

Frybrid - looks to be the best kit out there, and I'll most likely do it for my 2000 Jetta TDI.
