Can anyone tell me if these vans have rotary or inline injector pumps?
What are you getting for kilometrage with these vans?
How about running temps?
Internal or inline lift pumps?

I don't have a van yet, but I am looking into these vans as an option. I've been running wvo in various vehicles for...

Hello Conor, the Delica's have rotary pumps with notorious leaky seals with the advent of low sulfur diesel. Mileage runs from 29 to 24 mpg, don't know 'kilometrage' :). Don't exactly know running temps, but when I moved a magnetic temp gauge from my WVO filter to heat exchanger nothing ever went...

My Bistro produces about 30 Liters of veggie oil a week. I'm looking for someone reliable to pick it up for use in their veggie truck. It's located in Downtown Victoria.

Please contact me at tashipeacock@peacockbilliards.com for further info.

Thanks,

James.

Last post

Hi James,

If you don't get any local takers I'd be more than willing to pick it up. I'm in Nanaimo, but I travel to Vic every other week, so if you are OK with holding onto the oil for 2 weeks I could pick it up on my way back out of town. Let me know how it goes. I'll be in Victoria this Sunday...

Does anyone know a product number for fuel line good for a WVO/Biodiesel conversion? I thought it would be relatively simple to figure out what to use, but so far no one up here seems to have any idea. Anyhow, if anyone knows please help! :shock: and possibly fire me a PM also... thanks

Hey Josh,
Great that your kit arrived! Hope everyone has a good time up at Cariboo fest. Wish I could be there but anxiously await full detail and pics of conversion.

In case you missed the thread in the Delica Meet 2007 section, we are converting Josh's van to two tank WVO system on the weekend of July 7, 2007 in the vicinity of Williams Lake. Any one interested can also check out :

Josh can provide details of his system.

I ordered the TTVTM with VegMax Filter with two 3-port solenoids ($625) and a hotfox ($199).
Did you go with the two 3-port solenoids instead of the single 6-port solenoid to avoid cross contamination issues and/or did you do it because you wanted to add a NADA or VO controller to automatically...

Hello all,

I have wanted to post, for quite some time now, on our oh-so happy experiences of running our Delica's on waste vegetable oil. I have procrastinated as I hoped to find the detailed pictures taken of my second, and neater, veggie conversion. A SD memory card is such a tiny item to...

My wife is coming with me for the install, and she likes to document everything with the camera... so I am sure there will be pictures galore.

I see recommendations to use a diesel fuel additive to improve lubrication in the fuel system due to low sulpher content of contemporary fuel. I read also that biodiesel has improved lubrication qualities compared to 100 percent petro diesel, so if I'm burning B5, which granted contains only a...

So this stufff turns fuel lines and gaskets to mush in pretty short order, eh?

Does this hold true for 5% blend?

I'm planning on getting a cardlock account w/ columbia fuels because they stock biodiesel and it's nearby.

Do I still have to be concerned with degrading fuels lines when...

great thanks. signed up for the cardlock today. should be handy and even at 5 percent bio, it's a step in the right direction.

BTW i've read that there is increased lubrication with even small concentrations of bio fuel, despite that though are people still running additives?

I just found this site:

It's a WVO Co-op across the US. I just signed up for an account so I don't know if there are any Canadian, or more specifically for me, Vancouver Island sites. I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this Co-op or if there was an equivalent Canadian Co-op....

Last post

for wvo you dont have to change your hoses, you add some hoses if your going with the secondary tank set up, but if you buy a kit then I believe all those hoses are included in the kit.

I really hope your not going to try to tie wvo into your existing lines, It can be done but I would not do it....

Have to add that when you break the job into individual components, it's convenient and efficient.

1. Map out the whole system for your rig. Maybe map out your WVO treatment setup.

2. Manufacture any brackets, etc, you may need and test fit everything.

3. Wire in all electrical, relays,...
