they are doing or a commercial vendor. SVO needs to be heated and filtered
before you can use it. I'd be very leery of using it. If you have a late
model engine, $750 for 1 injector is not unusual. Replacing 6 would get
spendy. My Cat has all the injectors under the valve cover so labor gets up
there too. Making your own bio-diesel requires methoxide or sulfuric acid
which are both pretty nasty acids. I was going to try to make my own but
the only place I have is an attached garage. I decided against it. I'm
sure my wife with her super sensitive nose would notice the vile odors
emanating from the garage and stop my fuel making before I got much made.
OTOH my son has a 66 Mercedes and he runs SVO in it. He had it converted
with some pretty high tech heaters and an extra fuel tank. It cost about
$3000 for the conversion. He's always hauling extra oil around and spends a
lot of time looking for restaurants to give him their used oil. I wouldn't
have the patience for it. Then again it's almost free....
