Flames? Skulls? Unicorns? Flaming skulls? Flaming Unicorns?

How about flaming Unicorn skulls?

So is your wife any happier now that it's white instead of yellow? Mine didn't seem to gain much more appreciation for having a white monolith in the driveway as opposed to yellow, but maybe other wives have more of an aesthetic sensibility...

Thanks for the encouragement!
Flaming unicorn skulls.....yeah, I could see that...
My wife thawed a little on the project now that it's not yellow, and the seats and linoleum are torn out.
She's not too keen on the diesel smell, but that's another issue. I hear that biodiesel smells like donuts.

Biodiesel does have an almost pleasant smell. It definitely smells a bit like food of some sort, though I've never been able to put my finger on what food exactly it smells like. When I run straight (recycled) vegetable oil it smells vaguely similar to whatever was originally cooked in the oil, which in my case is chinese food.

I have no clue why-but both my bus (7.3 powerstroke) and my 91 Jetta (1.6 non turbo) run on veg-but smell totally different.

Even if you blend a little biodiesel with regular diesel, it takes the edge off that harsh diesel smell. If I find myself with a low supply of biodiesel, I'll stretch it out by blending it 1:3 with diesel. It's also good I think, once you start using biodiesel, to keep it in the fuel system so your gaskets/o-rings aren't shrinking and expanding too much due to the different fuels, and it helps add lubricity to the ULSD.

Also try Natural Gas. It's cheaper - blend 60% gas to 40% diesel. The fun part is when the exhaust smeels like burned farts and diesel exhaust - just kidding. Anyway, I'm working on the conversion for all my diesel trucks - the three M1009s, the M1031, and the B600.
