Homebrew fuel is going to come later for me, but I do plan on it at some point. After the truck is running, I plan on adding an underhood SVO system (custom-built by yours truly, of course) if I can find room for 3-5 gallons. I think I can, as I've been keeping the passenger fender clear for just this purpose.

The algae I thought I had was most likely particulates from old gas that had been sitting in the tank. My solution just arrived in the mail yesterday: a new Isuzu tank. Same price as a professional cleaning for the old tank (or less... they were vague). I need to run some new fuel lines down the driver's side frame rail and I am in business.

I think I have also finally found a source for my factory hood scoop, so stay tuned...

On another note, those interested in diesel conversions may want to see this post from another forum. The bellhousing adapter he used my open up some interesting possibilities for people in terms of conversion engine candidates. The industrial Isuzu engines may work using the same method, for instance.
