Almost Installed

We are Sooooo close to finished with the install. The tank and filler neck, fuel lines, wiring harness, gauges, dash switches and V3 unit are all installed. There is a small wiring issue with the V3 unit that the Vegistroke guys are going to check out in the morning, then we test drive. See photos on my WVO album.

Don’t let the terms ’system’ and ‘install’ lull you into the view that this is all a ‘paint-by-numbers’ affair. While the majority of the V3 unit components are very straightforward, the fuel tank whether in-bed or under-bed, involves cutting holes in your truck and making things fit. There is custom work involved and it does not always go smoothly. These under-bed tanks are still a fairly new product (since last August) and connections were not in optimal locations, fittings not included . . . nothing critical, but it sure pushes some extra work onto the installers. Dan wrestled with that tank for half a day, ground down fittings, custom cut plumbing and ultimately fit the tank with millimeters of clearance between the exhaust, towing package and rear shocks.

I have to say that all my dealings with Dan and Farhad at the Green Drop Garage have been great. Very good communication, great hospitality, straightforward in explaining options and costs as well as helping out on any questions regarding veggie oil in general. (oh, and Farhad showed me some great restaurants in the area)
