I bought the engine out of British Columbia). I’ve had some issues over the last 50,000 miles that I’ve worked out (mainly o...

The only ones I can find under $200 are mechanical gauges, but I would like to install one in my Vanagon conversion and go with electrical with a sending unit. Anybody doing this?

Re: VO system set-up
First off, I have a solonoid valve in the hottest and latest possible point in my system - no problems as of yet. (2 years) I don't see a flat plate heat exchanger in your diagrams. There's more than one way to heat vegetable oil, but FPHE's are probably the most tried and true. My system goes FPHE...

VO system set-up
So I have ran on WVO in my RV for about 4 years now, but have never done an install. I am designing a two-tank system for my 87 Vanagon that I am in the process of switching out the gas to a 1.9td. Have any of you guys doing VO chosen not to heat the VO tank? I was reading a thread on the frybrid fo...
