I'm thinking about buying a VW New Bug TDI and converting it into a greasecar. Has anyone heard any good or bad things about the greasecars? Anything I should worry about? Does anyone know how hard it is to install the conversion kit? Any information you have would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Bio-diesel?

Bio-Diesel. Basically used vegetable oil thats been filtered and had some additives added (methanol and something else). a Better for performance and burns clean and costs like 80 cents a gallon to make. Better alternative to the 3 dollars a gallon...

If it is an Easy DIY I would do it....dirt cheap to fuel it and cleaner for the Atmosphere!

Its a great idea and pretty easy to do.
The only thing you have to decide is if you want to spend the time and effort collecting and getting the "fuel" ready.

I wonder how much of a hassle to get the cooking oil for a daily driver.

Anyway, I would get Golf TDI over the Beetle TDI because the Golf has more utility and looks less chick.

Many fast food places are more than happy to give you their old oil. Or.... you get a bunch of teenagers with severe acne together......

Errrm... anyway, they sell the Bio-Diesel kit at an alternative fuel website. Has everything you need to make it. You need oil, methanol, and lye. Mix at the proper ratios, stir well, let the sludge settle out, and a few hours later you have bio-diesel.
Since diesels were designed to run on veg-oil to begin with, they actually run BETTER on Bio-diesel. And you get that nice french fry smell.... mmmmmmmm....
Costs around 70 cents a gallon to make your own.

SOMEBODY REP ME!!!!!! Whaaaaaa!!!!

Most places pay to get the "cooking oil" taken away. They will be happy to give it to you if you gurantee pick-up each week.
