Everything I've read on the subject says go for it. I'd start out with 10% and go up from there. I've blended everything from tranny fluid to heavy gear oil 50/50 with diesel and noticed no difference. The gear oil does stink but the truck still runs the same.

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

Dropping the price to $0.40 litre due to drop in diesel price.

Thanks for looking!

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 ?

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...

I got tired of getting dirty oil from people on the road, so I build a mobile filtration station. I don't need it any more, so buy this for $250 and save your self time and money in filters. This runs off the battery in your van and will clean oil to 1 micron and pull out any excess water -- And it...

Congratulations, Ed ~ and may you see another fifteen successful years and more. Good luck with the sale.

Our Pump and Filter system is capable of onboard filtering through a 1 micron bag filter housing, at about 4 litres per minute. Pump is 12v. Fairly compact. One family used it in a Delica all around USA and Canada.

cheers I would like to read it and pass it on :)
