Shhhhuuuush! Joel,

You are going to let the cat out of the bag on that alternative engine replacement I have planned out for the 88 GL I got from you. Being a potter, I already have the new pots for the task made up and in process. I'll be using recycled vinegar from the vats at the Whitfield Pickle Company - Home of the Pickle Packin' Mama's - (lots of women with kids work there) The vinegar from the vats has greater energy potential because of release from the cucumbers of intestinal gas producing energy, once the energy transfer is complete the cucs are pickles, and as pickles no longer give one gas. And with that energy from the cucs absorbed into the vinegars in chemical reaction, the vinegar has greater energy potential than ordinary vinegar, and thus greater energy transfers for the purpose of generating electricity for powering the van with the new pottery jug/vinegar powered engine.

So don't let the word get out on the details just yet.
