with it being an heui system it should be pretty easy.

I bought a 1999 thomas built 35' school bus with a cat 190hp engine in it. I'm making a skoolie. I am considering being brave as I have read many things and have reasonable technical knowledge there are hundreds of these buses for sale in the us at very affordable prices. If anyone knows links of how to prep the motor for veg oil I would appreciate the share.

Bump for any updates with the Cat 3126 conversion.

I will be starting down the 3126(e) path soon and want to hear how ya’ll are faring out there.

Cheers!
