Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations

[Joe Street]

Hey Fred;

My friend in B.C. just got one and all he had to do was change the 
headlights to meed Canadian standards.  He said he knows someone who is 
looking for a person to become an eastern dealer/representative for 
these imports and there is a maintenance/repair business that would go 
along with the deal but they need someone who has the ability to front 
the cash for some stock in parts which ruled me out. Sounds like a good 
idea though and could play hand in hand with anyone doing larger scale 
BD.  If you are serious call me at home and I'll put you in touch with 
the right people.

How easy/difficult is it to import some of these diesel vans into 
Canada?  After that, how easy/difficult to import into the US.  Could 
someone make a business of it?  Will it be made any easier next year 
when the floodgates open for diesels?

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations

[Zeke Yewdall]

Yeah, unfortunatly the selection of diesel vehicals in the US is terrible --
elsewhere pretty much any vehical any manufacturer is available in diesel.
Here, it's just odd old cars, or 3/4 ton trucks and larger  Canada is a
little better, but I am not sure of the details of exactly what is available
there though.  I know they got more of the turbodiesel VW's while the US
just the non-turbo ones for the most part -- which is odd considering one of
the biggest problems selling diesels in the US was the perception of them
being slow... because they only sold the slow ones here.  I think they might
have gotten the diesel VW Eurovans in Canada, which we never got here in the
US -- might be about the size you are looking for.





Zeke, I'm in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks for the thoughts. Bummer, if I were
outside the US I could find a better van?
What about Canada? Should I look there for a van, since they're a days
drive from me, might be better pickings up North?

Thanks again everyone for responding.

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations

[Mike Weaver]

A Toyo would be a much better deal than a big huge Ford but I don't 
think you'l be able to find one
in the US.  I've looked with no success.  You *may* be able to bring one 
in from Canada or
some people buy a diesel engine from Japan and swap.  I gave it a pretty 
good shot myself, then decided to keep the old gasser Highlux and got a 
VW Golf.

Good luck.

Hello Luke, welcome

I don't think you're after a US-made behemoth. Some months ago 
someone in the US asked me this question. I recommended that they try 
to find a Toyota TownAce, which is what we have here in Japan. 
Second-hand TownAces are exported from Japan worldwide, including to 
the US (via Canada). He managed to find one and was very happy with 
it. The TownAce is one of the few older cars that are commonly seen 
on Japan's roads, and they don't look out of place. A classic. Ours 
is a 1990 TownAce 4WD 1.97-litre 4-cyl turbo diesel van. We've had it 
for four years and have never put any petro-diesel in it, biodiesel 
and SVO only. The 4-wheel drive is really good, by the way. Actually 
it's one of the nicest cars I've had. This site might help:

No, I was asking where Luke is located.

Here in the US, Kia only sell really cheap gasoline cars.  You are lucky to
get their good diesel stuff.

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations

[Zeke Yewdall]

Yeah, for that size, a Ford or Chevy is probably the best bet.  I am not a
fan of these engines -- complicated because they are V-8's instead of inline
designs, and impossible to work on because of the van body.  But the only
other thing to suggest is is a Isuzu NPR or Mitsubishi Fuso -- much easier
to work on, but quite a bit bigger -- more like a 1 ton or 2 ton size.  I
love ours, but we can use a 16,000 lb vehicle with a 16 foot box.   We get
10 to 11mpg on B100.   If you are looking to buy new, the dodge sprinter
diesel is a very nice option -- probably won't find a used one of those
though.

Look for a mitsubishi delica.  A buddy of mine just imported one with

I live in the Midwest, and have all 4 seasons during the year, if this

Lately my entertainment business has gotten really busy and it's come

I would like recommendations on what type of deisel van would you 
recommend that would most easily transfer over to a SVO, WVO, or

van, not really a "minivan" type of vehicle.


Again, I am naive and new to all this and hope your thoughts will help

Biodiesel fueling, right?

Thank you very much.
