First off just like to say hello. I just found this forum, but have been doing veg for quite a while now (almost 6 years) I have a 85 jetta with about 150k veg miles and a 96 cummin with about 15k on it, both of which were driven to AK from MN on veg!
please, insults don't help me so if i've done something blaitantly wrong, there's a proper way to tell me besides you f-ing idiot style.
My system is a 2 tank system, hih basically exactly the same as Sunwizards. My oil is between 160 and 180 before injection, I live in MN so i have a fair sized heating coil in the tank or else it just doesn't melt enough to run when temps are really cold. I noticed basically right away that when on veggie oil on accelerating hard that the truck wouldn't really start to pull hard until 250 rpms or so later than when on diesel, and now seems to be a little worse, maybe approaching 400. diesel starts to pull good and hard at about 1500 to 1650. I have 3/8" fuel line with a pressure gauge inbetween IP and filter stays in the 10 to 20 psi range when at these rpms, low end being under heavy acceleration of course. I really don't think it's flow restriction. What I'm leaning towards is injector coking.
Reading on here I realize that I have to do more checking my moisture content as well as FFA. Could either of these be linked to my performance issue? I have also noticed that my idle is also slower than on diesel by about 100, I saw another post on that same thing, but, it didn't follow up with the solution...
I've been running the same veggie filter on my Volkswagen for about 70k now, just to see how well i've been filtering, I don't think that is the issue. The trucks has been changed every 5k just because.
Well, any suggestions/advice, very welcome. I'm not online a whole lot but I'll get back to comment once a week or so. Thanks in advance!
