Hello All, Just a quick note to say hello. I've just joined the veggy vechicle group and looking forward to the discussion. I am working on converting a 1985...
welcome aboard, patrick. I guess by air leak, you are getting air into the fuel system? The easy method is usually to run the system and look for dripping...
Super Dave, Thanks for the reply and suggestions. Yes, I am getting air into the veggie fuel line on the suction side of the fuel pump. The kit I installed...
Another kit that looks very professional to me is the Neoteric kit. Ive done some research and thats what I am going to eventually install on my GMC Suburban. ...
Are you sure you are getting new air in? Maybe this is air that is trapped in the recirculation loop. What does the system have for purging air? There...
did you get the air leak problem sorted out? How is the car running? my current and only problem is a fuel line in the back that is weeping a little. There...
Sorry for slow response, been busy. I have not fixed the air leak yet. It has been pretty cold in the garage, so hard to get motivated. I'm planning to...
I'm a brand new member from South Texas. I've got a 2002 VW Golf TDI I'd like to change over to VO. Not being mechanically inclined, I'm a bit confused as to ...
hi Debra, lots of good questions. The biggest problem is there are no hard and fast rules for the best system for each car. Your best bet is probably to find...
Debra, I agree with much of what Super Dave said - some added thoughts: There is also the Elsbett conversion. They make both single tank and two tank systems....
thanks, dave, for all the great advice and links! i'll check into those companies you listed. debra ... Infinite love is the only truth. Everything else is an...
Debra, Dave and Bobby provided some great info, so I don't have a ton to add. I am doing the same type of research since I want to convert my 2004 jetta tdi...
Hi people. My name is Rob, I have an '82 Benz 300D running on WVO. A guy named Brian converted it using only an in-line filter/heater, so it's a single tank ...
Hi all. I have just converted my 84 Mercedes 300d to a two tank system. I am using parts of the noteric kit, and parts that I got from various places like...
Everything I've heard, from people actually using it... and I use it myself, says that soy is just dandy. In fact even hydrogenated isn't necessarily bad but...
Hi everyone, My name is Jamie and I own an 85 Ford E-350 van with an 89 7.3L, non turbo. I have a Greasel kit installed. I have over 10,000 miles on veggie,...
Greg, The Germans grow rapeseed oil (for climatic reasons) rather than soy oil. They have done the most testing and certification of SVO and bio-diesel. Since...
So many possibilities, I can only guess. Clogged injectors.... sounds like a filter issue to me at first guess. Lift pump... wonder what exactly about it went...
I don't think it's a filter issue. I live in warm South Florida. I let the oil settle for at least a month then filter into the tank through .5 micron filter...
Jamie, I am very interested in the solution to the problem with the 2005 F- 250. My 1985 MB 300TD is running great on veggie with a Greasel kit installed and...
Jamie, One question: did the dealer work on your truck under warantee, even though you modified the fuel system? -Patrick ... I let the oil settle for at least...
Patrick, I was lucky the first time in for repair. The mechanic checked out the veggie systems after I told him what I was doing. He smelled the residual...
Good Morning, As a new member, I thought an introduction is in order. I'm Art Wolfskill, I teach Agricultural Business at Sam Houston State University in ...
Welcome Art, Unfortueately, this group is small and not very active, but may provide you with some ideas. I have converted a 1985 Mecedes 300TD to run on WVO...
Art, Pat's right - cold WVO (or even virgin oil) will coke your injectors. It needs to be 160 F to work well. I have seen several negative comments about...
Hi all I am new to the group and am looking for some advice on running on veg oil. I anticipate converting my 2000 VW TDI some time within the next month or...
I know this is vegoil "vehicles" but I'm hoping no one will mind if I ask a slightly "off-vehicle" question. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on...
There's no ready made VO heaters out there that I know of. Closest possible ones are made to heat a garage, but they apparently still have trouble with VO...
Welcome to what should be a useful, albeit quiet group. I've never worked on a VW, but have a MB and Suburban for VO running. I wouldn't worry too much about...
