Now that the hole from the outside of the van to the veggie-oil tank and the elongated fuel tank neck to the outside of the van are installed (thanks Pete!), Norm has fabricated us a PVC funnel with a 90 degree angle bend we can use to fill the vegetable oil tank from the OUTSIDE! No more spilling oil inside the van and ruining our clothes!
