Well I have finally started my grease conversion on my '92 CTD
I started by gathering parts..
I have filters, fittings, heat exchangers, pollack valve, lava line, and I just started making myself a grease tank..
After looking at a lot of tanks on the web and in person I decided I did not want a tank in the bed of my truck.. (plus I have a bed camper)
So I am building my own to go where the spare tire goes on my truck.
Here is what I have so far..
I am using 14 gauge steel..
a steel brake I just bought that can bend up to 35" wide.
the tank size is 30x30x15 estimate 58 gallons..
you can see in the pick I had to notch a few spots for it to fit where I want it.
