Hood work and Veg filtering.

I have columbus day off. So back to work on the truck again. Also filtered more veg oil. Have ~60gallons filtered to 5microns.

Yet more Body work.

Primed and sanded the doors, fenders and cab. Discovered yet another dent in the back of the cab. More bondo and sanding. We got the hon on only to discover yet more dents. It will need a lot of bond and sanding. TC had

Veggie update

August.

Scored some Oil from a guy in scottsdale for 2.25 a gallon. He uses a centrifuge and heats the oil before the centrifuge. I think that when you he the oiil you just melt the fat. You don't want that in the engine. 

Sept.

Got 40 gallon of peanut oil @ 50 cents a gallon. Had to filter it myself. Just used the 5 micron bag filters I have. With diesel hovering around 3.65 a gallon, I saved $126.

Oct.

I went to Gilbert after work and picked up ~65 gallons of veggie oil for $1.00. That saved me 172.25. 

I did some rough guessing on the veg oil I've purchased since I bought he car. I've save ~$3000 in the 35000 miles I put on the car. With the maintenance I've saved less. However I'm putting the miles on my Toyota truck. Plus the 30yr old mercedes ride is much more comfortable than the 02 tacoma TRD.
