Happy Day

Friday, August 8th, 2008

It has been a month and a half since I have had my 300D with me.  I had to leave it in northern Indiana while I moved.   Some extremely adventuresome and generous friends flew out and picked it up and drove it back to upstate NY where I am.  She got to me in one piece and seems happy as ever.  The car sat unused for 5-6 weeks.   I expected some issues with the veggie system.  At least a air-leak or something but the system worked on the first flip of the switch without a single complaint.  Fantastic!

In my down time I have been working on putting together a conversion for my Dodge ram 3500 work truck but the lack of money has caused me put that on the shelf for now.  I have also been experimenting with On demand supplemental Hydrogen Injection… That is going to be a whole new page on this blog pretty soon.  Extremely exciting stuff and sooooo simple…

Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins Conversion

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

The time is coming up!   I will be converting my Dodge truck,  Hopefully I will get started in less than a month.  I need to use this truck and I need to quit buying pump diesel for all the obvious reasons.    Its a huge truck with a huge motor.    But the beauty of it is that it is higher off the ground,  there is more room to install everything and enough for a for a GIANT veggy tank.

I am thinking heavily about building a custom tank to allow me to use straight dumpster-fill,  Or at the very least some type of dumpster-to-tank filtration if I can’t afford a custom tank with a remove-able cover.  The 8Gal cell in my 300D is not enough to go anywhere in this truck at 15mpg.   I’d like the veggy tank to be at least 40 gallons.

I will be posting later some more detailed information.  Now I am for the time-being living in upstate New York I am going to try to tap the local experts before I do anything major.  I love to see new ideas!
