Veg Rev

Hello,

This is William from Veg Rev. I'd like to respond to Jesse Olguin's accusations above as there are quite a few missing pieces to his story.

Jesse contacted me with a request to install a Golden Fuels system. I spent many hours emailing and talking on the phone with Jesse explaining why VegiStroke was a far superior system, problems of polymerization, and other general veg fuel related information I have gathered over the course of the past 5 years we've been doing conversions. I told him that we charge $1000 to install the standard VegiStroke kit. When he brought the vehicle in it turned out that he wanted a tank mounted up under the vehicle and a remote fill in one of a few possible locations. This is a bit more work than the standard VegiStroke install and so I told him that it would cost a little more to do the install. He also wanted us to mount 3 or 4 gauges (unrelated to the veg fuel system) along with their sending units, electrical etc. As Jesse has stated, I adjusted the price accordingly. Apparently my quote was reasonable as Jesse stated above, "Shane had to put more work into this project than he received compensation for." Jesse was looking for someone who didn't have the expertise to know the value of the work involved so that he could get the work done at their expense.

So after many hours helping Jesse select a kit and hooking him up with our tank maker (who was confused when Jesse insisted on paying him directly as he is subcontracted through us and never receives payment directly from our customers, clearly Jesse knew that he was knowingly undercutting us) and giving him a reasonable quote, he took our advice and help and got some poor guy to commit to doing the work for him for less than it was worth.

No one is getting rich doing veggie oil conversions. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and that is really our reward. The veg fuel community has overwhelming been a great group of honest, hardworking, interesting people. It's always a shame to see someone come into the community looking to take advantage of someone else.

Grease,
William
