Central Maine selling Listeroids again?

[cschuerm]

I just noticed that Central Maine Diesel appears to be selling Listeroids again.  They have what appears to be a fairly well designed "veggie oil" conversion and are selling generator packages for that use.  Last I heard, they got slapped down by the EPA.  Did they come up with a way around the regs?  That would be great news if they did!  Anyone have any info?

I don't think Veg oil has ever been an EPA "approved" fuel source, so I don't see how that would get them around the regs.  About the only way I could see that happening was if they could prove they were pre-ban engines?

When I called them last spring, I was told they were not going to pursue the sales of listeroids any longer and were sold out of engines.

Well I'll be hanged, my experiance with them last spring was the same as Ron's "NO! and dont ask no more!" Guess they were tired of answering the phone? Not sure how veggie gets them around anything but whatever, hope they succeed.

Almost $4400 + for a package deal without cooling tank, guard, isolation mounts, or shipping... I wish them well.

I think the info is just old stuff from their website.  I'm pretty sure they just sell some parts now.

I think it's current. The ad states:

"Yes - Send the 2011 Vegetable Oil Lister Type Generator Buyer's Guide"

I filled in the info so we will see what they send me.

They are assembling engines in the USA. I am 95% sure of this but cannot explain why right now. Whether they are doing it legally or not I do not know...

ssssSHHHHHHHHH

I called them today and no dice, they don't have any engines in stock
and don't really want to handle them at this point.

That's exactly the opposite of what they told me.

I talked to Dan Reed. We talked about parts he had in stock and wanted to
know if he ha d a Crank Case etc, none to be had. I would love nothing more
than to have him send me a 6/1 new in the crate

I have called there twice and Dan has been out. The web page was updated to include that info so one would assume,,,

I send the form for info.
No sign of anything after couple weeks?
