Vegetable Oil SVO WVO waste cooking oil as biofuel

[dark_flame221]

I was thinking about a system that would use two lift pump one for wvo and one for diesel, two valves one for the selecting wvo or diesel just before ip and one for the return line ....

I saw some oem lilft pump for my truck at about 55$ dont know if i saw the right part but two lift pump would really shorten my switch over time...

My question is there some body here that use this pump with wvo, is it reliable, or it can't handle wvo !?

also i'm worry about un-heated portion of wvo line, in live quebec canada and it get freaking cold here... ! i'm afraid that if i leave wvo in the return line it will solidified and block the line or just the portion between the F.P.H.E and the injection pump (ip) wont get enough heat and when i will switch on wvo that wvo in this portion wont be hot enough and will cause some cooking maybe not alot but.... some

Can you mix wvo with diesel ? maybe filling up my return line with diesel could help in not blocking my line with thick wvo.... ?!

Isn't your lift pump mechanical run off the engine? If so, you can't run 2 mechanical, the 2nd would have to be electric. And you may need some way so the flow of the stock diesel pump isn't just blocked by the valve when in WVO position.

The return on WVO should loop before the lift pump. Otherwise you are pressurizing the return which can make it run bad or ruin the IP on some models. Make your return and the short line between FPHE and IP be insulated hose on hose so coolant heats it before switchover.

With that engine most run diesel and WVO through the FPHE to pre-heat the IP so you don't get thermal shock snapping the IP shaft which is a very common problem on that engine. Search here or infopop for lots of examples of that. Also switchover only at idle speed.

you mean that i should heat my return line with hose on hose coolant heat ? did you already seen some body use that ?



and for using wvo and diesel to preheat ip how do you do that i let the diesel and wvo open ? and why do i have to switchover at idle


well sunwizard im glad its you that have give me a response

Yes.

did you already seen some body use that ?

Yes, many.

and for using wvo and diesel to preheat ip how do you do that i let the diesel and wvo open ?

move the FPHE just before the IP so you run diesel and WVO through the FPHE.

and why do i have to switchover at idle

because the IP is weak and that makes less stress on it.

Take a look at Sunwiard's Dodge setup -

I also run both fuels through the FPHE . I can close the coolant supply valve to the FPHE for extended running on diesel .

The stock lift pump for this engine is known for diaphragm failure that results filling up the crankcase with fuel . If you must use it because you cannot afford a reliable buy pricey electric pump (FASS or Raptor), install a new mechnaical lift pump now and replace in every year or two as a PM item .
