The straight seems Alot less time. Any power difference between one or the other?

Correct, Bio is a pain in the butt although you can put it in any diesel that you may own without having to worry about a converted fuel system. Straight vegi oil has to be properly dewatered and filtered but it is way easier than making bio-D If you have a PSD, then you also have an excelent motor to convert using the vegistroke system like i have. Vegistroke is designed specifically to go on a PSD.

If you already have 3 resturants willint to give youi oil then you already have one of the hard parts done! Securing collection places can be a pain but it your case it sounds like it would be a sinch!
I notice NO power loss when burning vegi oil. You can not tell the difference in the way the engine performs!
Check into the Vegistroke set up...click the link in my signature and read about it.
Big money, yes, in about an hour, i'm headed over to meet okstroker from here on the forum who just bought a Vegistroke and I have been talking with him on the phone and helping answer his questions. I am going over to help him do his install. The thing about this guy is he's a hotshot runner and he uses 4000 dollars a month in fuel. Hes found a way to collect on the road and filter it so he can totally use vegi oil when he runs to Canada and back. Now, 4000 dollars a month comes to $48,000.oo a year in fuel cost. If he can even cut that in half by running vegi oil, then he has pocketed $24k a year. And i say cut in half because he may have a time finding and collecting that much oil while hes trying to make good time too. He assentially may end up just hauling some extra barrels with him so he may have enough oil to get him to cannada but have to use some diesel coming back. he still will pocket big money.
