Roof Rack

Step 10: Roof Rack

The bus has many other ingenous systems and features, but for now, here's the roof rack.
It's a really simple and good design.

So that's it, a proven veggie diesel system for a large vehicle.
Get good veggie oil, heat it, and filter it.
Make sure it's good and hot before entering the injector pump.
Start up and shut down your engine on something else, either diesel or biodiesel.

For more info or to buy a Biotour.org shuttle bus ticket from SF to Burningman, check out their website.

Great bus! I do the filtering in 3 steps with 3 different filters, this helps lowering costs as there are filters for 20 mycron available which are reusable(cleanable).
The steps are 20-> 5-> 1. If you were ever wondering what to do with the disgusting rest aka fat.
Here is a solution. :-)
This is a really powerful stove which has about 10 kw. It burns anything like fat, oil or even used engine oil and there will be NO=0! smoke!
If you want details send me a mail

Hi there.
I have been working on a waste oil heater for my workshop and saw this. Any chance you could share the design with me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Metamart

I have got your detailed written plans but have you got any pictures of the steps that I can see or a youtube video?

cheers Greenpig

i do not have any picture amterial at the moment.. I will try to make some pictures next week. I am always happy to help but i am very busy at the moment.
Just one thing to mention: be careful with the smoke if it dosent burn decent (white smoke etc.) it hurts in the lungs and is probably very bad.

happy new year
