I am currently working on saving and recycling some of the energy wasted by my methane producing french ass....any thoughts any one????

Only thought I have is: I'm all for alternate fuels and all, but that's one exhaust that is not going to smell like fries - French or otherwise.

Log into to the UK Delica site (http://www.mdocuk.co.uk/forums/), then go to the "shop" section. There you can buy an English language owner's manual, and a Russek technical manual. Will cost you just under $100, take about 3 days to get here. The Russek manual is similar in content to the Haynes manuals that are common in North America.

Having installed a HHO system on my L400 and getting 100km more out of my tank which is filled to the brim every time to create a constant by which to gauge changes in milage by simply resetting my trip meter every time i fill up. Having now drivin more then 5000km with this system all on the highway I noticed a 20-25% improvement in fuel milage. I can now get 500km+ out of a full tank where before it was barely getting 400km out of a full tank. So the physical evidence to me bears out the fact that yes, there is a substancial gain without my having to change my driving habits, or having changed anything else durring that timeline save for a oil change. If anyone is interested in this beyond personal speculation try googling Bob Boyce on youtube and see what he is saying. His interest is not in making money or fame, just in making this system ever more efficient for our mutual benefit. Wan, now that you have a longer experience with your system i would be curious as to whether in the long run it has worked out for you.

I am now getting over a month to a tank now that I am riding my bicycle more again....seems to be working....

no snake oil and if you total my bicycle and L300 mileage I am going way further on a tank

Problem with biodiesel is introducing it to an older in use straight diesel system, it will dislodge and remove varnish from the tank and lines plugging filters and destroying injection systems. Once the system has been cleaned or is new biodiesel has no side effects.

WVO is a great solution the only problem is its ablilty to hold water. It must go thru a very careful centrifugal process or filtration to remove the water. Good clean, dry WVO is a very good fuel but it is also a hobbiest fuel. You must put time towards it.

My two cents enjoy

What about brand new vegetable oil? I hear it's cheaper than diesel at Costco in the states.

I would still filter it to cover your ass. But you could do a 50/50 mix with pumped diesel

[rezdiver]

to cover your ass from what?
why would you filter new food grade veggie oil? the truck has a fuel filter. that diesel you are pumping from the gas station is filthy and the filter and injection system seem to have no issues with that.

ΔΔΔ do you know in fact the oil has absolutely no water content. Me I would be inclined to centrifuge it cause the time it takes to prevent damage to an injection pump is not worth it.
In my opinion but that's just one mans

The idea is to find oil to buy on the road meaning that if filtering is required the idea is moot.

I would base my assumption that the process and filtration a food grade product like oil goes through should ensure pure oil, not something that when cooking you put in a hot pan in your kitchen and explodes back in your face because it had water content. because the oil is clean and unused and free of contaminants there should be (once again an assumtion) no suspended water content that is usually found in used oil in which the water is attracted to the contaminants and held in suspension. this leads me to belive that any water content would be settled and i have yet to see a bottle or jug of cooking oil with water sitting at the bottom of it.
I would bet the canola oil company has a way nicer oil centrifuge than what any of us may have in our garages.

the engine oil i buy has no water content to damage my engine, I do not know this for a fact but sometimes you have to trust the supplier.

also i would bet a good deal that the diesel you buy at the pump has more water content than the canola oil in the store.

Edit:
I will eat some of my words, only some, as according to DIN 51605 some water content is allowed, something like 250ppm, but how much content will actually hurt your pump and what is the water content of pump diesel.

Like I said I don't know was just saying to cover your ass. Food grade oil has totally different specs than diesel they don't filter for injection purpose but filter for food grade.
