Comments on: Switching to biodiesel, part III http://toni.org/2006/09/11/switching-to-biodiesel-part-iii/ A Swiss guy in San Francisco Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:45:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Erik O'Neal http://toni.org/2006/09/11/switching-to-biodiesel-part-iii/#comment-12427 Wed, 30 May 2007 00:45:37 +0000 http://toni.wordpress.com/2006/09/11/switching-to-biodiesel-part-iii/#comment-12427 I have been thinking about swapping the 2.5 petrol motor in my Series III for a diesel and adapting it for biodiesel. Does anyone know where I might find a LR Diesel engine in good nick here in the states. I don’t want to just get another truck as my SIII is a known evil.

They have been great so far, I have added on a few extras like a bush bar, roof rack, over-drive, and rear seats at extremely reasonable prices.

My truck will arrive at Port hueneme on 4/9/2007.

I also went through the same thought process of buying a vehicle that can run on either bio-deisel or pure vegetable oil.

Please write me at jbutscher@go.com if you have questions or want to check in my progress. Jim

I wish I had seen your blog before I did. You said it took 5 weeks to get your car? They told me 20 days!

They did not tell me anything about a customs broker. Do you have to use one?

Also, could you give your attentive readers a breakdown of your costs? That’ll either inspire us to follow in your footsteps–or a be a compelling reason why not to! Thanks!

Older diesel cars (pre-1995) may need replacement of fuel lines. More info here: http://www.berkeleybiodiesel.org/bbc/faq.html#modify_car

Since I went to college I’ve broken down on the trip from SB to SF many times…it’s definitely not fun on the weekends.

I also used to live a few blocks from Port Hueneme. You were lucky to have gotten out of there before the vehicle started giving you trouble. :)
