Jacob have you tried brewing your own biodiesel?
I am not familiar with your handle so I can't say anything leads me one way or another. You probably would if you could, but in the off chance you aren't aware you can make biodeisel out of used cooking oil from restaurants. Its just got to be filtered. My local restaurants will give the crap away(because up until biodeiselers came along they had to pay someone to take it). If possible hook up with a large chain restaurant because if the owner is not already doing it its money het gets to keep from saving the franchise money.
I've helped pull it from Cheddar's(like a bar and grill kind of, but with very inexpensive food) and it usually is about 40 gallons a week for free. You said you do about that many miles a week so you could potentially eliminate your fuel costs by picking this up once a week. You do have to filter it but it costs about the same as one tank of fuel for you.
As your truck is an older more durable model you shouldn't even have to mix hardly any(if any) diesel with your used veggie oil.
