hopefully you lucked out
All I know is, on payday, I will take what ever messures is necessary to make sure my coolant is up to chemical par!! I plan on owning this thing "till the end of the world, simply because I truely believe that gas will be almost impossible to get in ten (10) years, and with the proper equipment this IDI will burn anything. Trust me, in ten years, people will be withing they had a 6.9/7.3 IDI.

i couldn't agree with you more, but in ten years it may be impossible to get wvo/wmo as well. For some people it already is. But, if you can get some i suggest you grab that grease with both hands and make a stash and do whatever you can to secure whatever connections you can make. I have found that even the offer to pay for it goes a long way, even though they almost always say just take it (so far at least). I am talking mostly about wvo since that is what i burn in my trucks.
As for wmo, which i sometimes burn in my kiln, i found a local mechanic who said the wmo collector dudes "line up like beggars" to get it from him, paying $.55/gallon and constantly compete with each other, bad mouth each other, and sometimes just show up and start pumping it out of his container without even asking first (even though they still pay).
So i showed up and politely offered to pay the going rate for it and told him what i do with it and he joked about how annoying the grease monkies can be and said he would just as soon sell all of it to me, a local guy, and tell the others to get lost. I don't need to buy all of it right now since i get almost all the wvo i need free - but if that falls through i sure would not think twice about working out a semi-formal agreement with the mechanic to cut all the other guys out of the deal for good and buy it all.
just my opinion...
