I know that Luxury Imports is offering it and he brings in both Cruisers and Delicas. I'd give Wayne a call and see is he has a system for the Delica. I don't think you would find a cleaner diesel than one running bio or WVO with propane injection. I think you would also find a very nice increase in power and economy as well. I know the Aussies do it with their diesels but I think many of them are getting the lits from the US. Cheers, John

awesome info. I'd feel safest with the fully built kit, the ebay kit seems to be someone putting together the supplies from the home made first link and selling it for way too much.
I have been wanting to do this since I got the van, there are just so many things to spend money on though. Maybe the motorcycle will wait til next year and i'll have a 2 tank wvo system with propane injection along with a 3 inch lift and my 31s.
Who needs to save money right?
p.s. this is the system I have been looking at most. Maybe we should try a group buy and have an install party.

Look at what you send on gas a year.
Run WVO, reduce the above amount by 90%.
Take that 90%, or more, and happily spend this found money on your Rig.
Repeat often. 8)
That website has a good amount of info. Thanks :D
Kev - It'd work, but would it really save much money. Nah, its about the power.

indeed, I just have to not drive for a year and put my $50 a week away. There lies the problem. I'd love to chat about where you get your oil and how you prepare it but we could take it to pms or you could link me if you've already talked about it here.
Good talking, nothing like driving for 10% the cost of everyone else.
