Well I took my first real trip on grease last weekend. I think it was probably about 150 miles, and it ran great. I had no problems at all and I love the smell! I continue to get a lot of positive comments on the conversion. People are really amazed.
At this time, I have no further plans for the grease system, other than getting a better filling system for the grease into the tank. Pouring grease from a container into a funnel and into a hose, is pretty messy and is a two person job.

Ok, so maybe you are wondering how I went from putting rebuilt axels on, to being done with the conversion process. Easy; I skipped the part where I update my blog. Sorry, but I sold my other car and had to get this done. I will attempt to go back and explain what I did.
Here are some shots of the finished fuel and coolant lines. The kit that I got from Greasecar.com had enough hose to do the job, but I cut one of the wrong diesel lines and had to buy more fuel line from Autozone.

Anyway this picture is from the drivers side and shows the heated veggie filter with the copper line going around it. This provides heat to the veggie oil before it enters the fuel injector. On the far left, you can see something with two hoses coming out of it and a number 7 written on the top. That’s one of the soloniods that switches between diesel and veggie oil. I found out that it’s a good idea to label the bracket, so you know where the different outputs are without taking the solonoid off.
