Skill Center has now bolted on the solenoids, and hooked up the coolant hoses to the 40 gallon vegetable oil tank. They are now figuring out where to put the Vegtherm, that the fuelwill go through before it gets to the fuel injector. The Vegtherm will insure that the oil is heated to 160 degrees so it will not hurt the injectors over time.

Below, student Jesse experiments with ideas to support the Vegtherm.




Here, Walt brainstorms with Jesse on the best way to support the Vegtherm.

Below you can see where the coolant hoses come into the truckbed and then into the tank.

Here are teacher Walt, and students Brian and Jesse working on the project

Walt has re-drawn the schematics, so that he can isolate the three areas that need to be worked on. On the right you can see the diagram of Grease Car, which Walt then re-drew so the students can better understand how to go about implementing them. Walt is creating new ways to improve the installation of the grease car kit.
