Hello! I am new to this forum, and kinda new to diesels (a couple of years ago I had a 2500 cummings). Finally found an Excursion that was at a good price and had this wonderful 7.3l diesel which everyone says is a champ when it comes to WVO. So I did many months of research and concluded that the Vegistroke kit was the best option, as this will be my wife's kiddo transport (she drives ALOT) and just had a few questions... The truck is in great shape, very clean motor- no oil leaks and aside from the high oil pressure that I understand is an issue with the 7.3l everything is great. I ordered my kit (Dinofuelalternatives.com is backed up gonna take 3 weeks to get it!) and in northern california diesel is over $4 a gallon, I am doing this install none too soon.
First: What is a fair install price? I know that this is supposedly an easy install, but I am all thumbs with wiring and I want this to be as clean as possible. I am having a custom tank installed (25gal) under the truck, and thinking that a flush mounted fuel reciptical would look nice next to the stock fuel door.
Second: Processing WVO. HEEEELLLLP!!!!

There are enough topics on this to make my head explode! Everyone has their own method, some make it sound easy..... Others sound like you need an advanced degree in Smartology. My needs are simple: 1) Filter the Oil. 2) Burn the oil. 2a) Maybe store some for future use. I purchased the Greasecar.com "Stand alone filtration kit" and I am hoping this will be sufficant to get it into my tank from the settling tank. The question is: Assuming the oil I get isn't super dirty, how long will a 5 micron filter in this set up last?
Thanks for your help
