Jim, it’s starting to sound like the people are against you. I dare say by the end of this trip you may have to forego a few bottles of wine and some yummy snacks to make room for that veggie oil conversion.! I see a mutiny rising!

Rene…I’ll start loooking for resources for you in NJ!

We will not be doing the conversion to run pure greasel, at least not while there’s a nice big fifth wheel hitch in the back of our truck!

I just checked at Costco and their Soy Bean cooking oil is approx $18 w/tax for 4.6 gallons..Already filtered..maybe cheaper out on the road in bulk..Got room for a couple of drums in the bed of your truck :)…

are you going to buy pure Veg oil (like at Costco/Sam’s club places) or get it from restaurants (starting to get popular now, even commercially viable) and filter it..?

Not so quick there Greenie!

We weighed the rig with empty holding tanks (approx 630 lbs full), no fresh water (approx 476 lbs full), one empty propane tank, and only two bottles of wine! Besides, we must reserve some carrying capacity for all the yummy snacks and vegetables we keep stopping for.

Yeay, now we can do that veggie oil conversion I’ve been wanting to do. Heck it should only add a few more hundred pounds!
