CAR UPDATE

So far we have traveled over 3,500 miles on over 100 gallons of veggie oil. We've obtained oil from 3 different restaurants and have gone through 5 filters. We are having replacement 1 micron and 5 micron sock filters sent to us here in Oregon. In addition we've had 1 oil change and 1 air filter replaced along the way. Our Jetta's performance has stayed strong over the month and a half we've been on the road.

I must say I am delighted to hear that you have had such success with the car. I think the fact that your cleaning your veggie oil while traveling is wonderful and just shows the practicality of the conversion. You would probably use less filters if you had a static cleaning station to get the oil a little cleaner, but it still makes economic as well as environmental sense to run on WVO. Great news... well done.

That is so cool! I am totally impressed. You know I had my doubts about the whole veggie fuel thing, it is killer you are proving me wrong!
