Nice folks. The green Freightliner is pretty cool, he really did a nice job on the conversion.
I gasped when he told me how much it costs to maintain the Benz engine though. Fuel filters are $150!

No ones ever caught RYO's 50/50 before, at least that I can remember! Nice!
Its definitely the Roll Your Own #1. RYO #2 will be our next bus. 
In Holland most folks roll theirs 50/50.

I'd not shopped for one, but he was just talking about how he'd totally gone through most of the engine and that while he liked it, it had a few annoyances but was reliable and powerful enough. The injectors are, ACCORDING TO HIM, a pain in the arse. He says other than it being inordinately expensive for parts its a good engine.
