I picked up 40 gallons of the smelly stuff today! Funny coincidence, the guy I'm buying the car from has also converted mercedes diesel to veggie oil.

I've actually thought about converting a 911, you know. Kennedy Engineering makes adapter plates to mount a VW diesel (or any vw i4) to a 915 or g50 transmission. They are pretty much already set up for a two-tank veggie system... use the oil tank for diesel, and the main fuel tank for veggie oil. PLUS, the 964 c4 awd system runs completely independantly of the engine electronics... so if you swapped the engine you'd still have the awd. I think a veggie diesel 964 c4 could make a pretty cool commuter car. Oh yeah, I've thought about it!
