Golden Fuel
And then we got some oil. Our search for waste vegetable oil on Cape Cod was trying, to say the least, but we were fortunate enough to receive help and supplies from Spinner's Pizza in Ring Brother's Marketplace and from Ian from the Underground Bakery and Cafe. Not only did these people supply us with oil, but they are both responsible for some delicious meals. And then we pumped the oil into the tank. I won't go into the details for a very long and very frustrating process in which we went through several pumps and filters before finding the magical combination, but we did it, and Zach drove the bus back to Saratoga powered by waste vegetable oil. Oh, did I mention that Zach, single-handedly, (I read the kit directions maybe five times and I still had no clue what was going on) installed the oil kit onto the bus? Amazing. It doesn't smell as much like french fries when you drive the bus as I had hoped, but maybe that's for the best.
