WVO/biodiesel registry?
I'm getting ready to 'hybridize' my new 3b bj60 with a second tank, heated lines and filter etc. and have been looking through the threads but I was wondering what everyone would think of having a registry like the other forums have. Those who have been running on WVO/biodiesel could list:
1. date of conversion 2. miles driven since conversion 3. problems that they've had 4. a telling photo of their setup Good idea? It's just that I've been doing a lot of reading, learning stuff about chemistry etc. and realize there's a whole lot that can go wrong with burning this stuff in your engine, and, different engines respond differently. For instance, I know with my experience burning B100 in my 1.6l VW golf I ended up replacing my fuel lines, water separator, stop valves, glowplugs and injector lines one after another. Things like that. Cheers, __________________ 1984 BJ-60 3B Diesel 180k miles WVO Hybrid set-up to come Still has that pleasant old car smell 1986 Honda Civic 1.5l w/manual choke This thing will not die! |

Ok...I'll go:
1981 2H with a Goldenfuel System installed. Been over a year, and I would say maybe 20-30,000 miles (Odometer doesn't work) Problems: None that I didn't cause myself. Mostly inexperience using the double tank system and f-ing up the filters, or switching to WVO when the oil isn't warmed up yet. Nothing serious, anyway. Learning curve, but well worth it. __________________ VEGGIE-Powered 1981 HJ-47 |

I am biodiesel only, '71 FJ55 with a Cummins diesel, running biodiesel since 2004. I have done several WVO conversions and am planning one for myself, but have never run a WVO conversion. But I have time in a Dodge with the conversion (Frybrid) and it runs great...
