2001 VW Beetle WVO Conversion

My Dad and I are converting his 2001 VW Beetle TDI Diesel to run on Waste Vegetable Oil(WVO). We started a blog for it at http://www.danielgibbons.net/wvobeetle. It will be updated as the progress continues with pictures and videos. What do you guys think about it?

oh hell yeah!

I'm thinking about doing this to a diesel silverado in the next year or so. My future wife wants to move two counties over which would make my daily commute about 80 miles. I told her I'd more seriously consider it if she let me do this. (funny, though, this weekend she started saying we should look at houses closer to where I work....)

I thought about making biodiesel, but it seems like an awful lot of work. With a WVO conversion, all the work is up front, with a little work to filter the oil. Is that about right?
