Starting below 0 isnt taht hard. Just plug your engine in over night (if equipped), have good glow plugs and battery, and mix kerosene in with the Dino D.

Omar did the last group buy. I think he was going to order extras so contact him. He is on most of the vo sites.

Nobody mentioned PlantDrive? Frankly I think it is as good or better quality than Frybrid's. It is also available a la carte, so you don't have to buy anything you don't want, unlike Frybrid's all or nothing. It also has electric heat (Vegtherm) as well, Fybrid doesn't. And Neoteric (PlantDrive) is easy to deal with. Frybird...well, they can be let's just say not so. And PlantDrive has been in the VO conversion business longer than any of them. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and in this case, as much or little as you want.

There's also Fattywagons for components (no kits). Their quality seems to me pretty good and prices are reasonable, but it is definitely a DIY since it is not a kit and the design is up to you.

Sorry but I don't remember. I saw it when I was researching before my 1st conversion.
I have found tank manufaturers that charge by tank volume not shape so you could measure and have one made.
