Is that MB shop in LA Lovecraft Biofuels? They are the MotorMeister of the veggie conversion world. People come onto our forums with horror stories, and we try to get them sorted out. Much like MM clients coming to the PP forums asking if it's normal to have blue smoke after a year.

They have very slick advertising and they're very convincing up-front. But they're more style than substance.

People with two tank veggie conversions like mine need to fill their diesel tank now and then, because they start & shut down on diesel. Last time I filled up was mid-May.

Plus, some people do blend straight veggie oil or even homebrew biodiesel with a % of diesel. Some even use 15% regular gasoline on 85% canola.
