Drop-Top VW Greasecar!

Customer: 
Mark Z.
Make: 
Volkswagen
Model: 
Cabriolet
Year: 
1987

I purchased a perfectly good and functional 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet with a gasoline engine and converted it to 1.6 diesel VW power and custom WVO system using Greasecar components.  The engine is normally aspirated 1.6 diesel that has been rebuilt with a performance tuned fuel injection pump and injectors.  

This two tank system uses a 12 gallon polyethelyene marine fuel tank for vegetable oil and is heated by a 20 plate stainless steel flat plate heat exchanger with coolant in counterflow with the fuel.  Stainless steel grease car valves are used for control after having thousands of miles of with them on my other grease car; a 1985 Volkswagen Golf.  Currently, this Cabriolet is fitted with a trailer and hitch to carry extra fuel for a planned trip from Georgia to California

This grease convertible may very well be the only of it's kind in America.
