Veggie Car

This car was difficult to convert because we took a diesel engine from a 1993 model and put it in a gasoline
powered automatic transmission car from 1997. This created all kinds of problems with the computer
controls of various things. We fooled the computer and everything now works fine . Will Arlow did most of the work.

This is the control panel for switching from biodiesel to veggie oil.

The switch just below the red light was moved up to indicate that we are now burning veggie oil.
This is the heated veggie oil tank.
This is the heated veggie oil filter.
And this is the switch that change the fuel supply from bio diesel so veggie oil.
