I have been asking on another thread how long it takes for the oil to heat up enough for use. I know it may depend on outside temps but lets say 40 in winter and 75-80 in summer. How long would it take to be able to switch at those temps? I was looking at a CNG kit for around 2k with out the tank. One kol thing about the CNG kit is you can buy a home refill station that you can run directly off your house gas supply. On the flip side my home gas bill on a budget payment is already 163.00 a month due to a 35% increase this year
A WVO/SVO turn key kit will run anywhere from 1500 to over 4K depending on from who and what you buy and in some cases.
