Hi everyone,

I just bought a '94 L400 and the guy who I bought it from warned me that he has heard of biodiesel ruining the engine seals (quickly), requiring a rebuild of the engine. I'm pretty sure he was talking about an L300 at the time, so I'm not sure if it might be different on the L400. I'm...

Hello fellow veggie heads,

I will be traveling with the family from Winnipeg to Kelowna in the first week of August,
then off to the Sunshine Coast with Porpoise Bay Provincial Park as our destination from Aug. 15-19
back to Kellowna for a week before heading back to Winnipeg around Aug. 23....

We made it from Victoria to Red Deer on veg we hauled, and hoping for the same back. Looking for 170 litres or ten cubbies, willing to pay and return the favour if you make it to Vancouver Island.

Took 1992 Pajero (EGR blanked) to Aircare and Failed at 40% Opacity.

Previous 2years ago, was 4.45% without EGR blanked off.

Will biodiesel help me pass? And at what % is recommended?

I do not wish to do any mods, just pass aircare, then run it on diesel.

It recently had a new head gasket and...

Hi everyone!

Well, made it all the way from Vancouver.
Now, have some technical issues with the van that I would love to get a mechanic referred for...
and also, does anyone know where to source WVO here?

Cheers

Serge

Is a wvo conversion in a 1998 chamonix gen2 possible? I already purchased the van and was told that the conversion may not be possible.
I am searching the forums for the answer but i dont use the search function much so it may take me awhile to find the answer myself but i am trying just thought i...

Planning a pretty long trip (about 5000km) in August and recently found out that my WVO supplier has run out! I am able to refuel in Colorado but currently I am in the Okanagan with no luck sourcing. I'm able to visit the Vancouver area but going to the Island would add too much ferry cost to make...

So I forgot to switch back to diesel when I parked last night, and when I went to start this morning it wouldn't start. If you have a pump filled with cold veggie, will it make it so it won't start, or is there something else? If it is the veg, how do you flush out the pump?

I'm finding a few oil leaks in my system, and they seem to come from pipe fittings sealed with teflon tape. Will oil destroy that tape? Should I use something other than teflon tape to seal threads?

Wondering if anyone is filtering WVO in the Nelson/West Kootenay area? I'd like to pick some up.

Hey guys,

I might not be as active on this forum as I used to be, I might no longer have a Delica but I still have a Pajero which I've converted to WVO last winter. I still have a few little things to complete before calling it a done deal but since its been working without a glitch for months I...

Careful where you get fuel. I hate running biodiesel in my vehicle because it dries out the seals, but not every station advertises that it's what they're selling.
2177 Dollarton Highway only states that they sell biodiesel on their receipt, after you've already bought it!

On the upside, I had my...

I often do a lot of shorter trips and rather than wait for the coolant to reach high temperature -which doesn't always happen, I decided to give this whirl. It's a stainless steel section of 3" X 1/2" pipe held to the exhaust by a pair of hose clamps. If it becomes too hot for the fuel...

Hey all, my kids are heading out on a road trip in my Delica in a few weeks, from Victoria to Calgary. Anyone know a source for good WVO in Alberta, especially Calgary? They can pay.

Wondering how much veg oil you can safely mix in with your diesel without a conversion?

Thanks,

Colin

I have a source of several hundred litres of WVO, but not for a week or so, and I need to test my system before the weekend. Does anyone have a few litres of good WVO they can part with?

That was quite a chore. Took two guys two full days to get this system installed. Only thing left to do it get a skidplate for the new tank, mount the spare on the front bull bar and fill er up with veggie oil. Bought the system never used for $200.00, cost about $100 for all the extra materials...

I have a brand new 2 tank Plandrive system with VO Controller for sale. This system is designed to be fully automated, no need to manually hit switches to heat up and send fuel. Never forget to switch back to diesel before stopping again, system will idle and change over before shutting off. Can be...
