vegoil forum- This used to be the most active and informative international vegoil
conversion forum on the web. Lots of friendly and experienced folks, many who have already
converted their vehicles and are willing to share their knowledge with others considering
converting to this biofuel. But the moderator is often gone for up to a month and personal
spats break out which fill the archive with less than useful information. Searching for
useful information is becoming more and more difficult as a result. A new
"useful information only" forum designed primarily for "newbies" is
available HERE
It is indexed so it is easy to search and most of the currently applicable conversion info
is easily accessible there. Near the top of that forum as a "sticky post" is a
great place to find links and answers to common questions that "newbies" have.

The Frybrid forum- has some very interesting discussions..but is a freewheeling and minimally moderated forum so the archives are becoming harder and harder to search. Although it is a vendor provided forum the moderator does not moderate out negative comments about the vendors products...or even personal attacks on the forum owner. Beware the Politics section if you plan to post anything but ultra conservative opinions. But if you like jousting with trolls for entertainment this is the place for you.
The Vegoil/Diesel group is a handy well moderated international discussion..
Fusel is a great overview site for Information on Diesel Vegetable Oil Conversions Systems
The Greasecar Forum is so poorly moderated it is nearly useless for those looking for information on VO conversion. Considered the "wild west" of VO fuel forums it is rarely posted to by those with accurate information to share. Please double check any information provided on this forum. There is less than a 50% chance it is accurate.
The Lovecraft Biofuel Forum is heavily moderated to remove any negative comments about this vendors products. And for very good reason. If it were not it would be swamped with public complaints about the vendor and the vendors questionable claims about his products.
The Neoteric Fuel/Plantdrive Forum was discontinued and its archives deleted. According to Ed Beggs (the moderator) the primary reason it was decided to shut it down was customers used it instead of email or phone calls and became frustrated when their questions were not quickly responded to. This led the owners to believe that the result might reflect poorly on their reputation regarding customer service. It has been replaced with a FAQ and "testimonial" page.
The Greasel/Golden Fuel Systems Forum was similarly discontinued and deleted and replaced with FAQ and Testimonial pages due to the effort required to remove complaints and negative comments about the vendors products.
