Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations
Joe et al, 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?

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations
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.

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations
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.

Re: [Biofuel] Newbie Seeking Diesel Van Recommendations
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. Keith Addison wrote: 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: http://www.toyotavanpeople.com/index.html ToyotaVanPeople.com Best Keith 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.

NOTE TO WEBMASTER: No need to print this part. Is this how I respond to a topic on the List? Use the subject line to respond to the last comment? I couldn't find a reply button on the list. Thanks for forwarding this one on! Luke *** Hey all, Thanks for a good jumping off point. 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
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.
