Perhaps but the heating of the oil also allows it to start on vegetable oil. I am going against most experts with my single tank system. if I had a long commute I might have gone with a two tank system. This is kinda a pieced to gather system. took an idea from here and there and made it work. Later...

My system is very exspermental most people go with a two tank system with vws

I heat the fuel with electricaly with injector line heaters, an electric fuel line heater, and a coolant heat exchanger fuel filter, I also have an electric fuel tank heater which i have to hook up again. I also run a blend of diesel and wvo. I too lost prime when I tried to run 100% wvo and had to ...

seller says it has cracked block pretty vissable about 1/16 inch wide 2/3rd inch long. I haven't looked at the car only seen photos of it. looks clean. is it a weldable fix and could I temporarliy fix it with jb weld? I am not a welder. http://tbit.net/~floyd/images/rabbit/vwrabbit.jpg he wants $600...

http://tbit.net/~floyd/images/dasher/car5-30-07%20003a.jpg above you see the heated fuel filter I made with a old vw oil cooler , an inline heater 100 watts, and the injector line heaters 80 watts. I Just installed it this evening took it for a spin around the block about 2 miles, without the inlin...

I think I found part of the problem my fuel line heater had become disconnected. The air temp and having a good charge in the battery, or a good jump start does the trick. The warmer it is the easier it starts. Well I fixed the bad connection and I am now at about 70% vegetable oil which it started ...

Tried 90-95% blend Tuesday ran fine Tuesday, then Wednesday it wouldn't start till the evening, added 2.5 gallons of diesel to tank. Guess it didn't get mixed up enough wouldn't start this morning, Got it started after work. I waited 5 minutes while my fuel line heater and injector line heaters heat...

check out http://www.frybrid.com/forum/ and http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/159605551 lots of info on wvo conversions on the two sites. Do yourself a favor a study this before you decide to go with a blend (dumping filtered and dewatered wvo into tank with diesel) people do it and it ...

I use clear braided vinyl tubing on my dasher 1/4" inside dia. works good clamped in place. I replaced both my filter to ip line and my ip return line with it.

After I had to drain my tank in november of last year because i put too much vegetable oil in mix and losing prime on the ip. I have been running blends of about 25-30% vegetable oil. Today I added 5 gallons of vegetable oil to tank tank was half full. So I am now at about 60-70% vegetable oil. I am...

Any one ever done this or know if it is possible? I think it would be a fun project if you could find a 5 spd tranny.

sounds like it would work, have you installed the injecter line heaters yet with the controller and does it work as planned?

Well from all the information I have recieved you are suppose to pay atate road tax, not sure about federal tax I have heard there is a 400 gallon for personal use That is not taxed. The permit is supposebly painfree to get. Just have to have your car/truck inspected and have signs so and so's waste...

I am working on a themostat so I can control the temp. these high temps were recorded at idle, it runs much cooler when running at normal operating speeds. I don't know what the affect the ambeient temp will have on it during the summer. My injector line heaters are on a switched circuit so they can...

It will burn just how good is the question, I think as long as you filter it to 5 microns before you use it and dewater it. But I would research it more. Much more than I have done. 300 gallons for free is hard to pass up.
