converting their gasoline volvo to a diesel?
i love the redblocks, but my buddy has a jetta TDI that he converted to run on veggie oil. we took it up to maine (8.5 hours up, 7 hours back, and some in between), used 20 gallons of free veggie oil and less than 1/4 of a tank of diesel fuel. the car has close to 250K on it and it drives like a dream; i don't think there is a single problem with it.
so has anyone ever thought of, or actually done, a conversion to diesel (engine swap and all the rest) on a brick? i think it would be pretty awesome to have my 780 coupe running on veggie oil in the not-so-distant-but-still-somewhat-distant future.
