RV-2 going Veggie

After several months of searching we found a deal on an RV. It's a few years newer than the last (86), and in much better shape on the interior. But most importantly it's a Diesel.

I've been scouring various forums and put together an initial list of bits needed to run P100 (fuel made from plants). Found a great resource by the name of Dana Linscott, who for a very reasonable PayPal transfer is reviewing the list and giving me specific recommendations on design, installation and brands.

His estimate is that I will be able to convert the RV for ~ $600.

Yup, for less than the cost of one round-trip from Seattle to Minneapolis in the RV (or flying), we'll be able to run Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO), or BioDiesel aprox 800 miles per fill up. Until I'm brewing my own, I can get BioDiesel at one of several thousand locations for a little less than Diesel; I can get SVO here in Seattle for $70 a gallon and I can get WVO (with prior arrangement) from most restaurant grease traps for FREE.

More details as the project unfolds.

Hmmmm... makes me think of another quote I was recently reminded of:

I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq..." and I did. -George W. Bush, June 2003
