Editorial Review: Product Description: The benefits of straight vegetable oil (SVO) as an alternate fuel for diesel engines are many. SVO is cheap, carbon-neutral, uses a waste product, and does not depend upon centralized corporate infrastructure. Authors Christopher Goodwin and Forest Gregg are the founder and designer, respectively, of Frybrid, the most respected vegetable oil conversion company in the United States. They have many combined years of expertise in the use of straight vegetable oil as a fuel and have sifted through the masses of contradictory, erroneous, and confusing information on the subject, extracting the very best information available. Chapters include:
SVO is the only book available that explains exactly what is necessary to convert a diesel vehicle and how to do it properly. It gives readers the tools to sort through the different companies and online plans to find something that works well. While technical in nature, this fully illustrated book is very accessible. Each concept is introduced and described in great detail. Designed to educate new consumers, it is also a resource for current conversion owners. Forest Gregg is a researcher with Frybrid, and has worked as a designer and installer of the conversion systems. Christopher Goodwin has been in the automotive business for twenty years, has owned two shops specializing in German auto repair, and is the founder of Frybrid, the most respected vegetable oil conversion company in the United States.
