So what's the deal with heating the oil? I understand that it's to thin it before injection, but I've noticed that if I switch to veg after starting, it runs fine regardless of the engine temperature; I can't notice any difference. Maybe the vegetherm does a good enough job? The only thing I've...

Last post

My understanding is the oil is at the proper viscosity/temperature/spray pattern after it passes through the vegtherm so there shouldn't be a noticeable difference in how the van runs. Waiting until the engine is up to operating temps assures everything is heated up and operating at the proper...

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...

Last post

I ran homemade biodiesel in my Mercedes 300D for 5 years and it ran perfectly the whole time. That being said, not all bio is equal, it is important to get all methanol out of the bio as the methanol is miscible with soap and the soap will stop you pretty quick.

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....

Last post

For what it's worth, my daughter and her partner found plenty of restauranteurs willing to give them oil in the Okanagan. It's more hassle but might be the only option.

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.

I believe all the 4M40 variants are indirect injection. The difference between series 1 and 2 is series 1 is a mechanical injector, series 2 is electric.

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?

Last post

I wired my veg switch to the fuel shutoff on the I.P., and it works like a charm. Can't shut off the engine if it's in veg mode. Simple and elegant solution to the nitwit behind the wheel.

First post

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?

Last post

Use the paste instead of the tape... When tape breaks down (and it will) small pieces can make their way to your IP, not good. I've seen JB weld used with great success in some applications.

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...

Last post

I'd be curious as well to know how much larger of a tank could be fitted at the rear. Maybe 120L? Only issue would be added weight behind the rear axle and maybe some lost clearance although that could be addressed with a sloping tank. As for price I'd guess anywhere from $500-900.

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 was gonna ask: does the 10% or so if bio-Diesel matter? Most pumps seem to put it in by default. Where can you buy 100 dinosaur?

Last post

Turns out it doesn't get very hot at all. After driving around town for awhile, you could grab the end caps with bare fingers. I think ill have to increase heat conduction to the pipe a bit; it was significantly less than 100 C.

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.

Well... one could edit their own post when they were no longer offering. There could also be contact information with a caveat with each offer ~ phone ahead to be sure that it's not a dry well, or by appointment only to avoid being taken for granted. Just a thought.

Similar to what Christine said, avoid it in winter. Actually, just use it in summer months and never above 25%. That is from my experience and a lot of reading. Below +15* it gets harder on your system. The 400 seems to do a bit better than the 300 and I know people who've done it up to 50%. It...
