From what I have seen and talked with Chris, he is doing these one off
and does not have the depth of models and sales to have a modular way
to fit all the possible permutations of diesel. He is learning what
works in each model as he is commissioned to build it. I am sure if he
had a few hundred of each model done, there would be a more modular
approach. Learning curve. Not to say he is bad, just that each car is
better than the last one, and the next one will be better than the
last.

If Frybrid is doing custom installs then I would be concerned too. I'd
want
an off the shelf system with off the shelf replaceable parts for
anything as
important as a fuel system.
On the other hand, if Frybrid's systems are modular and customizations
are
limited to fuel line run lengths & adaptions then I'm OK with them.
That's
just smart manufacturing.
The answer is to do more research & then share with the rest of us!
Thanks,

Wow. I am learning lately to wait and consider the options before
jumping on
the information I receive. I have heard from some of you that the
Frybrid
operation is the BEST! And now I hear this! I don't want to deal with
the
type of person I've just heard described, no matter how good the
system may
be once it's eventually delivered (or not).
How does one find where the truth lies?

As far as Frybrid systems, the guy makes some impressive looking kits,
but I wouldn't spend another dime with the lying SOB.
The guy has a real bad reputation for taking people's money and not
delivering a kit for 3 months or more.
Knowing that, I considered buying a Davco heated filter from the guy,
but I emailed him first to see if he had them in stock , ready to ship
before I ordered. He told me he had plenty and would ship that day. I
paid him and a couple of months later, and no responses to emails or
calls, still no filter. I finally get a hold of him and he tells me
that he has them drop shipped from the factory and it went out the day
before. The filter gets to me FINALLY and on the paperwork with it, he
had not even placed the order with Davco until the day after I got him
on the phone , so the guy had just been hanging onto a few hundred
dollars of my money for a couple of months.
Then, on his website, he advertises the filter as coming with the
special filter wrench.......no wrench. After another long set of
attempts to get a hold of him, he lies again and tried to tell me that
HE never advertised that and got nasty with me. He finally changed his
tune after I directed him to his own website where he could see his
own webpage. Then he tells me that, OK, he was going to send me a
filter wrench.
About a year later, still no filter wrench, and he won't respond.
There are a number of suppliers out there with consistantly good
reputations like http://www.plantdrive.com/ ( I've bought parts from
them a few times, great service, and really good kits if going that
route ) http://www.greaseworks.org/ ( got a few goodies from them,
good folks ) Or Greasecar ( have a friend there, but they do make a
good kit )

Maybe some of you all can help me out.
I'm trying to decide if I should convert my 97 Dodge Ram 3500 to run
on veggie oil using the Frybrid system (no I don't want anybodys
else's system) or take that money and buy a Mercedes.
Here are my stats.
I drive 120 miles total to and from work Frybrid system $2300 with a
90 gallon tank Fuel $3.10 Avg. MPG 19
I think the 190 will get the best MPG but are kinda rare.
Could go the VW route but hard to find at the right price
So just looking for feedback.
Oh and gas powered is not an option for me, I love oil burners.
Thanks all
Rory
