PlantDrive™ provides high quality kits and components for the conversion of diesel engines to use 100% vegetable oil as fuel without chemical processing or addition of harmful chemicals. We all know that climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our age. Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" has brought this reality to the attention of millions. It is now widely accepted that the carbon dioxide released from our cars and trucks is one of the main contributors to climate change. Renewable vegetable oil, used as fuel in an efficient diesel engine, is the most affordable and technically feasible carbon- neutral fuel available today! (Learn more...)

  The products we sell are also purchased to make the use of biodiesel possible in cold weather, and to allow use of lower-cost biodiesel with high solidification points.(e.g. biodiesel made from certain oils and animal fats, trap grease, etc.)
You will find everything you need here for conversion, as well as to efficiently collect, transfer and prefilter used vegetable oil. The use of 100% vegetable oil as fuel is often called "SVO". This stands for "Straight Vegetable Oil" (another common term is  Pure Plant Oil, "PPO" and “WVO” Waste Vegetable Oil). These all mean the same thing - enabling the use of captured solar energy in liquid form (plant oils) in the simplest, most economical, and most efficient way, without using fossil fuels, chemicals, or solvents. If you are new to this, please read our "Learn More" Section, it contains our FAQ as well as much more information that will assist you in understanding more about diesels and SVO use as fuel.
 "The PlantDrive™ Advantages"
- Best filters in the industry - The new VegMax, $215, top-loading, coolant on the bottom for effective heating, compact. And the Vormax™ - coolant heat, prefilter, largest, higher quality final filter, long filter life!
- Safest in-tank heater - Hotfox™ - stainless steel, coolant operated, heated fuel pickup.
- Quickest switchover time - 12Volt electric inline SVO heater - Vegtherm™ (combined with coolant/SVO heat exchanger(s), provides faster switchover, higher average SVO temperatures more consistently than coolant-only systems)
- Fast purge times (on 2-tank systems - note that we also offer our Single Tank system for Mercedes engines through 1999, for moderate climates only).
- Hottest oil at startup (via the optional OverNighter™.)
- Modular/expandable - not one size fits all - various options added to basic kits by application.
- Fast ship times. Usually 1-2 weeks from time of order, max. 3 weeks.
- Technical support easily obtained via email.
- Guaranteed products - All products are guaranteed for minimum one year. Many of our main components have a 5 year warranty!
- Wide range of vehicles and engines successfully converted.

“Thanks Craig. The engine is turned up to a commercial rating of about 630 lb. ft. torque, 250 ish Hp. Runs awesome. About 600 egt at 70 mph. Can't get the thing past 1000 egt, even towing. I love the Vegtherm and have directed others to purchase it for their Dodges, and one Toyota diesel. Just completes the coolant based systems well I think. Your service stands out! All the best.”
