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...

The roof is an obvious spot, but with my rooftop tent up there, that's a non-starter.

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.

It’s both coolant and electric, Hot Fox (in tank) is coolant and Vehtherm (in-line) is electric. The VO Controller is the brains, controls all heating, switching and yes is also a turbo timer. It will idle and switch back to diesel before shutting off the vehicle. All these setting are pre-set by...

Can I get any opinions on the best veggie fuel tank arrangement to use on my L300? I currently have a poly fuel tank, volume about 61 litres, dimensions 30X45X45cm. Unfortunately it was designed to sit upright, so to lay it on it's side to fit in the spare tire well would require figuring out how...

That sounds great. I think I'll try the two tank setup for now; I can always add the other tank behind if I need to.

Hi,

We just purchased a Delica L400 (Spacegear Exceed). I think my wife has already been posting (posting as SandraBurholder) about a trip to Toronto that we plan to do this Christmas using as much WVO as we possibly can.

However, to actually make this trip on WVO we need to convert the van ......

Last post

The short answer is no ... I am not sure what the amperage draw on our engine block heater is.
I seem to recall when I installed the unit that it was a pretty small unit (500 watt? ... I honestly do not remember).

When we do use the heater we turn it on a few hours before going somewhere, this...

Last post

For the fuel lines you do need diesel compatible, as it can melt lines made for gas. all gskets must be diesel compatible not gas, as gasket can quickly disolve. your veg system might get some diesel backflow into the veg on purging, or in emergency, or when you accidentally hook things up during...

I have my Fill-Rite oil transfer pump for sale that pumped WVO extremely well. I used it on road trips as well as regular fill-ups from the cubes. I also added a 20ft extension cord so it is plug and play when filling.

Hooks right to battery and switch is on the pump.

I was wondering if you can just run the main fuel line through a preheater and just add veggie oil or dino p*ss according to what is handy. That way you can forgo the cost of an extra tank, switch valves, etc. Does anyone know if there's an issue with preheating the dino p*ss? I can't seem to find...

Found what I was looking for from here :

I agree that a single tank system appears to be a simpler and neater solution. However, the single tank Elsbett conversion kits rely on modified injectors and different (longer) glow plugs which stay on longer during startup. Also, the heating of SVO is...

Hello,

Just curious who's running on wvo in the Prairies? Or if you know someone who does even if it's not a Delica... If you could let me know that'd be great. Just trying to help a fellow ExpeditionPortal member from Saskatoon who's getting ready to make the plunge.

Best to dismantle them or any other solenoid and give everything a good soak and clean in diesel *before* you store them unused.

But, if they have seized up from a period of being laid up, because that wasn't done, then do the above, but use biodiesel to soak and clean them. Don't soak the actual...

The Absolute claims a digital controller and superior heating element, while the Raw has a special cone to boost...

Your centrifuge should seperate the oil and fat regardless of hot or cold. You just can't visually tell the difference once it's heated. If you have fatty oil, draining the centrifuge into a seperate container and letting it cool will show you the fat. You should probably be doing this anyways to...
