Kinda tech and a bit of chat.
Was working on a BJ60 today that has a veggie kit in it, took it for a short tour on the highway and through town. No noticable difference, just the french fry smell coming back through the windows.
I was very impressed by the simplicity of the system, no return lines, no heater in the tank. The unit had coolant running through it and also had a electrical heating element, so it was a on demand type of unit.
One switch and light on the dash, it does need to be flushed with diesel prior to shut down, it also needs to warm the coolant to the point at which you notice the needle on the dash start moving.
There was a switching valve and one suction line from a tank mounted in the back of the cruiser.
I would go this route, such a simple install, not sure if it would work in the more nothern communities since it does not recirculate and and the lines are exposed to the temperatures.
