I'd run biodiesel with propane injection. I would not want to run a 6000 pound SUV off a 4BT, you'd need to time your commutes with a calendar lol. I know that the big Frito Lay delivery trucks came with them, but for something that I would need to cruise at highways speeds and be able to get around town without holding up traffic, I don't think that would work for me. I have an old Jeep Comanche pickup that has been my ongoing 4x4 project for the last few years, now that I would put a 4BT in. But for the amount of time it would get used, I don't think it would be worth the time and money to do the conversion.
