Take the Guesswork out of running on vegetable oil!

The Co-Pilot is back in stock!! (updated 6.19.08)

The Co-Pilot is a must for any conversion kit. Not only does it simplify operation and installation it will keep you from making common switching mistakes!

Easy push button switching makes running on vegetable oil a breeze. The adjustable backlit LCD screen clearly displays operation temperatures and running mode, a pleasant tone notifies the driver when conditions are right to switch. In Auto function the Co-Pilot will automatically switch over to vegetable oil when the preset engine temperature is reached. Timed purge and shut down alarm eliminate the possibility of over purging and notify the operator of improper shut down.

Simple automotive styling and compact LCD screen integrate seamlessly into your dashboard without the need for drilling mounting holes. Its modular design and pre-configured wiring harness make for clean and quick installation.

Each Co-Pilot is factory preset and ready to run right out of the box. Advanced users can customize parameters easily right in the controller's configuration menu without the need of removal, adapters or additional programming equipment.

Here's what our customers are saying about the Co-Pilot:

"So far I have about 3,000 miles running on veggie oil and most of the time I am leaving the Co-Pilot in AUTO.The workings of this unit, it is definitely a big BONUS to any veggie system. The Co-Pilot works as it should, it eliminates the need to find a place for more gauges (temp and fuel tank level). Operation of this unit is easy and extremely little operator interface is needed. It even looks cool, especially in my 2004 Jetta, (black and grey interior and blue lighted dash.)Also, there is no need for the Buzz Box, due to the Co-Pilot having this feature within it! Everything is working as it should throughout the whole system."
-Pat M.


"The Co-pilot is a big improvement over my original manual switch. I like the auto switch to vegoil, and it is a bonus that the buzzer is built in if you fail to hit the auto purge. No more overflowing tank risk since the purge time is automatic. It should pay for itself in diesel savings since it cuts over automatically. No more forgetting to switch. 2006 Jetta TDI, kit installed at 5,000 miles, now at 27,000 miles,
powered by used Soybean oil."
-John R.
