so, i have this plan. sort of started when panzen realized we needed more than one veg fueled vehicle, but im on my own fukkin mission too.

here's the deal- i thought i was gonna look for a shortbus and find one for a reasonable price, but the goood medium size shortbuses r next to impossible to find(if u have one, diesel, for sale, let me know..tanx) and many of them are gas. also, these wonderbread/grunman/ups step vans seem just as rad, more undercover brother and at the moment pretty plentiful. i know a few people from this community may know a thing or two about what to look for when buyin a diesel. i'd like to convert it to veg oil too, but the step vans have many types of diesel engines. been lookin at the izuzu 4cyl, but i'd like to have enough power to tow a trailer up mountains and such, so should i get a bigger engine? or do diesel engines make power different and a 4 cyl is fine? 

ive heard that the cummins is the shit, but besides that which diesel engine do u think is best for veg conversion?

also looking for gooood links to info on  veg conversion...all info is appreciated.

o.k thank u

yo, did you ever hear from the guy with the 3-53 powered bread truck?  I gave him your number?  Hope he got a hold of you, cuz I lost his number since then.

hell yeah, those cats are doing some cool shit.

 really dig those Benz lorries that they are rockin'  nice tent too!  

  Oh!   yo hteah,  i scored a free (supposedly broken) 12K diesel genny,  replaced the fuel filter, and cleaned the rust out of the fuel tank.. it's a Yanmar motor, runs good on rice bran oil!
