Deluxe Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) Conversion kit - Made and Sold
In general interest is growing in the use of WVO, tied obviously to the rising price of fuel. I predict diesel will break $4.15/gal this summer (and have a few wagers on this prediction), when this happens, interest and demand in my products will grow exponentially. I have one large equipment business owner wanting to enter a partnership to provide wvo fuel to his fleet of vehicles including wvo conversions (his company uses 500 gallons of diesel per WEEK). He believes we will reach peak oil "way sooner than most people expect" as do I, and he is making efforts to prepare and increase his self reliance. I met him selling him berry plants (over $900 worth). I also have several people interested in converting and am also now selling custom 12 volt electric heaters, I have a three stage heater underway right now for a farmer in Saksatechwan for off grid use (12 v only). I am supposed to get that out ASAP, plus I have my BIGGEST online order in my truck right now that needs to ship ASAP Monday (300 plants in total for over $1000) and I have 26 E-Bay orders that need to ship too, and guess when, ASAP :)
