wvo and cold weather!

Post by Kai »

Wondering if WVO works in cold winter, -20-30. If not what would I need to do for keeping it from getting damage.

Thanks

You need a good 2-tank system, with a heated tank, some heat along path of fuel lines, a heated filter, and additional electric heating to top up what is available from the coolant (which can be take too long to get hot enough, and/or cool down on longer downhill runs, etc.....so coolant heat alone is most often not sufficient, even with the best heat exchangers available (flat plate type).

We have converted a number of Delicas, and I own one - our systems have proven themselves in use across Canada on many types of vehicles, including Delicas, in all temperatures.
