Yep! That's me!
I think this is the toy you're talking about.
Utah Biodiesel Supply - Bio Pro 190 Automated Biodiesel Processor

The things rock!

On the Biodiesel front, I called Mahindra about a week ago and asked them if the new trucks will be able to run on Biodiesel. They said that they won't be selling them as such.

Translated means: "Are you kidding? We've got enough regulations to play with right now just GETTING the US to let us bring the darn thing into the states!"

But, I'd imagine that once they're here and selling and they jump through the EPA hoops, they'll start looking at Biodiesel. I'd imagine those engines would do just fine on Bio except the regen cycle might be problematic with the DPF (like it is in other US diesels).

We'll have to see.

Here's hoping! I miss that old Isuzu! That thing was awesome! Between my dad & I we owned 4 of them over the years. Incredible trucks! Just flat out amazing! One of them that we owned had well over 425,000 miles on it and still ran great! Looked like garbage when we were done with it (it'd been in 2 wrecks--people hitting it, not the other way around--, been repainted a couple times, had a ton of rust on it--Utah uses LOTS of salt on their roads in the winter) but it still ran great!

There's pictures of the old girl here:
1983 Isuzu Pickup

This one's a 4x4 we owned:
1980 Isuzu 4x4

And then here's our latest Isuzu:
1984 Isuzu Diesel

The last one was my favorite! Long bed, 5 speed, drove extremely smooth, would easiliy pull 30 MPG, just an awesome little truck....hoping the Mahindra is all that too...
