John, did you convert the 240d to a single tanks wvo system or did you just start putting WVO in your tank?

There were a number of things I had no idea about when it came to the cars that ran on grease. Not sure if it's for me quite yet but I do get a sense of there being a bit of adventure in doing it.

Filters, barrels, and pumps cost money, and as you stated, you have to decide what your time is worth to you. I'm not just an internet naysayer, I drove a 240d on Vegetable oil 80mi/day for about as many miles on a one and then two tank system in sunny California. It's doable, it's fun, it's rewarding, but it's not as easy or sustainable as you make it sound.

I like to think I speak for the millions of less technically minded WVO drivers who actually took the plunge, rather than just reading about it in books or talking about it at work. Perhaps what we need is a little more "hobbyist experimentation".
