Question

On average, how much does it cost to convert your car to grease powered?

Answer 1

I can do it for about 20 grand.  I'll need cash, up front.

Answer 2

You probably don’t have to convert anything, just pump and go. Some car manufacturers (though few, if any major modern manufacturers) use components for their diesel fuel pumps and lines that are adversely affected by biodiesel, such as Buna and Nitrile seals. If biodiesel is used in these vehicles in higher than concentrations of B20 for an extended period of time then you should replace the seals and hoses with a material that is biodiesel resistant, such as Teflon or Viton. Almost all vehicles manufactured after 1978 are compatible with biodiesel.

You should also be aware that biodiesel acts as a better solvent than standard petroleum diesel and it will "clean out" deposits in your fuel tank and they can get stuck in your fuel filter. It is often necessary to change your fuel filter a couple times when you first make the switch to biodiesel.
