I finished the Isuzu P'up conversion on Friday. Surprisingly, there was virtually no troubleshooting. I took it on a test drive, and aside from the smell of stanky old car interior, everything went great.

For those of you who care, if any, the system works like so:
-dirty oil into the small tank (heated w/ coolant)
-flip switch, pump oil through filter into big tank (also heated)
-once up to temp, flip switch to switch from regular diesel to veggie
-before final shutdown, switch back to regular diesel to clear veggie from engine

On Tuesday I'm going to drive out to the camp Ryan (the owner) works at. They have a couple of diesel buses they want me to look at. Could be fun!
