Starting a rolling thread.

Diesel prices can get up there. For those that run wvo/svo, this is your alternative unless you have a less costly source.

Region : Lower mainland, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky

Where : Costco, Safeway, Coop, etc...

What : Canola, Veg,...

Costco in Kamloops $20.49 for 16 liters. Diesel here today 142.9!!

So I bought a 92 Mitsubishi delica l300 last November, and with a wvo conversion. The tank is stored inside the van, and I removed it, because I was doing a camper van conversion. I’m almost done with the build now, and I’m ready to install the tank again, do I need to bleed the lines, when I...

Last post

I am glad to hear you're still rolling in that van and you're going to get it on veggie oil again!

Here's the deal with that system:
You absolutely need two tanks and the fuel needs to be heated properly. The injector pump on that van is a rotary pump and the rotary head on the pump will shear...

Hi, I am considering install a wvo system in my l300. I have been looking at either a plant drive setup or a grease car. Anyone here want to weigh in on the pro and cons of each set up?

I have heard that the injection system on the Series II for some reason maybe can't take WVO. Any thoughts on this?

Good information. Thanks Poochike. My WVO never seems to have any fat in it.

So I got a good supply of clean veg and was able to test out the system. It runs like a champ, but for some reason. idle s very low, about 500 rpm in gear. Out of gear fine. Any ideas?

Last post

Glad that was figured out. I had a diesel do the same things but not for the same apparent reason that is switching to veg oil would lower the idle noticeably but it was not due to a load on the engine. I attributed it to the fuel being harder to suck. But I've since learned that it's related to...

Any thoughts on specifics to look for when purchasing a Delica L400 that has been professionally converted already?

Sorry, I missed your question. If I have real heavy oil like gear oil I mix in a bit of gas but otherwise 50/50 oil to diesel mix works well. I wouldn't go any higher ratio with the oil. Starting at low temps is more difficult so reduce the mixture or add some gasoline. I have not tried this but...

Last post

Looks to me like you're not purging enough. Always purge even if you are just running into the shops for 10 minutes. Any impurities settle out quickly when hot and sitting, so if you turn off the van with veg in the pump crud will settle out. No short trips on veg either or idling on veg for more...

Hi there,

Anyone in the Kootenays running this system?

Where do you source your oil?

Do you buy it, get free from restaurants or a combination?

Current cost per litre and fuel economy (l per 100km) when using it?

Thanks
C

Last post

Hey. I live near Nelson and am considering buying a filtering setup off someone. If I do, I may be able to sell some. I believe $.60 per litre is the going rate for filtered WVO.

Not yet a Deli-cious owner, but really want to be! Been searching for a while now and I think I'm close, I'm only wondering now if this rig can be converted to WVO. Been doing some homework on the topic and I know it needs to have an IDI diesel fuel pump to get this conversion going,...

You've got it, all 4M40's are IDI. No common-rail direct injection malarkey involved.

I have no practical experience with WVO conversions, but I believe on the VE-EDC engines they increased injection pressures over the mechanically controlled VE pumps, which would presumably require very clean...

Any views on the ease of use of the systems such as the PlantDrive one?
Cost of running on this vs just Diesel?
Wear and tear/Maintenance of the Engine more with this system?

Adding diesal to Veg wouldn't do that ,you may have air in the system try bleeding it ,also does your system use a second pump to push the Veg from its tank to the values if so is it working ?

Hi ...

Power-loss issues on veggie - noticed that my VegMax (which is just in front of the right rear wheel, on the other side of the well) and Hotfox (tank in rear cab of vehicle) are not getting much or any coolant delivered to them.

First question you might ask is: is there enough coolant in...

Well I figured out my problem with coolant circulation to the rear veggie tank... as well as the location of my missing vice grip.

Yup... I had left a vice grip on a coolant line, enough coolant could get past, but not enough flow to circulate into the tank.

Pretty happy it was an easy fix, felt...
