Hi Randy,
thanks,
I plan to use a second tank eventually, but for now, was wondering if I can just strain the oil and add to the fuel tank with the diesel, in some predetermined proportion.
how much hell is it to make the biodiesel, or are youy just purchasing it from a gas station?
thanks!

the front seal was leaking... and the van sat for 6 weeks... BUT, should it not reprime itself? I tightened up the connections at the poump and the filter, but the lines are the original (dark brown). Is there a secondary pump in the system to bring fuel to the IP? What's involved in a pump rebuild?...
