Details, Missed the big picture!!




So we are now in possession the Handy Dart, and like any used car there are problems. So far it seems like minor problems, but still things that need to be dealt with non the less. We were told that the vehicle would be cleaned, but aside from a few chemicals spread around the dash to make it look shinny and a quick moping, the bus is filthy. Only one of the lights is working, the one near the back door, which has water in it!! There are a few other issues that need to be dealt with but lets talk about the positive.

This morning we ordered our vegetable oil tank from planet drive. We decided to go with a -10 internal tank for the time being which will probably be installed near the heater blocks to decrease the time to switchover.

Planet Drive 60L tank (the one we purchased is a little different, it "Comes with UNHEATED pickup tube installed")

This is great, we have the dimensions for the tank and today I'm off to the wreckers to see what goodies I can find. I'll be looking for Bench seats with removable table, Propane stove, propane fridge, Water tank, cabinets and maybe a bathtub.


Also we are thinking we will install a cork floor over the existing floor. We liked the idea of Cork because it provides insulation, its comfortable, easy to clean and it will look great!!! So I'll make a stop in richmond on my way back to see what the best price is. We will be going with floating tiles, not glue down.

We are also still trying to name this beast so if anyone out there has any ideas please post in comments.
