Bryson’s College Fund

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

I finally got a round toit so I set up Bryson’s College fund. This is very mature of me, huh?

So, if anyone has some excess cash, let me know and I’ll give you the address and account number of a good place to send it!

WVO storage vessels

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

I’ve been starting to think about what I’ll need to make running waste vegetable oil work. I figured having some decent-sized tanks would be handy in case I happen to find a restaurant that has more oil to give away than my car’s tank can hold. Dave found a great deal on craigslist for once-used metal 55-gallon barrels with bungs for $5 each.

I figure I’ll have one to store ready-to-go, filtered oil in, one as a bulk storage, and two I can haul to sites to collect large amounts of oil in as needed.

I need to find a decent pump and filter setup now.

New Vacuum Hose

Posted on April 28, 2008 by Brian Gallimore

Another box of parts came in today for the Benz Twins.

I had a few minutes and changed out the main vacuum hose assembly and replaced the breather hose assembly on Betty.

She started right up. I drove her around the block. The engine runs good, nice and strong. It has no power off the line, but once the turbo spools up, it is pretty respectable. The transmission shifts hard and late. I remember reading about an adjustment for that… Something else to add to the list.

Speaking of “the list”. I decided it would be wise to keep a running total of how much money (and time) I spend on this little project. My goal is to run the cars on waste vegetable oil to save fuel costs (and of course to help the environment too). If you are interested in following the costs, you can view them on this spreadsheet. Eventually, I’ll be able to see if/when I get ROI.
