I doubt the pro converter is to blame/fault if that is what you are stating.
There is nothing illegal about converting just driving w/o paying the

We are going to convert a tdi next summer because I have an infinite supply
of free and highly filters veggie oil...but I sure as hell won't advertise
with a bit decal on my car saying www.greasecar.com or Veggie Powered!
