? about vegatble oil and power upgrades
Ok these questions might get me flamed but here it goes.
I have ordered 370 DV's,370 injectors 3000 gsk ,better lift pump?
and reinstalling my #10 plate.I also want to eventully do twins or a bigger turbo(not a guru yet but those questions will come when have the money to do them).
#1.Can i still run my vegatable oil with these upgrades or not?
#2.What lift pump would be the best bet for theis upgrades?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Chris

No rubber parts , other wize I think that playing with the timing hasn't been done with the bio enough yet , most are moving to 15-16* with dino fuel but it would seem that with a higher centane that it could very from dino , also I've heard that bio would require larger injector holes , I've heard that the 370s have a spray pattern that matches marine pistons , and may lessen the effisency .
Just some ??? that I have .

Id mix in some kerosene or some diesel power treatment to try to thin it out a little and keep it from coking the injectors.
You might find the cetane lower on average and the need to back off a bit on timing, but who knows.. depends on the oil you use.
If you plan on using an external lift pump so you can have 2 systems and switch back and forth, Id look into a FASS or something strong with good filtration. on a budget, Id look into flojet and shuflo pumps that are rated for diesel fuel.. viton or whatever that other stuff was. Youll want to watch your fuel pressure as well as fuel temps just before the injection pump.

Are you using vegetable oil or biodiesel?
If you are preheating vegetable oil and running that as fuel the power upgrades will work against you because of cetane limitations.
If you are using a high quality biodiesel you are going to see performance improvements, but may have to play with the injector spacers a bit to bring the burn out away from the pistons a bit.
If you are using a bio blend, you are wasting your money. For some reason commercial bio blends are the worst of both worlds and tend to run low on cetane and like to "clean" the soft hoses a bit agressively.
As far as a performance transfer pump, you should not need one. If you do the best solution for a 12 valve is to obtain the version for the early mechanical injection C series 8.3. It produces significantly more volume than the 5.9 pump, and the overflow valve will handle any excessive volume.

Although I do not have quite the BOMBS you have, I have had no problems whatsoever running my WVO. I have no drop of power or torque, and my engine runs smoother and quiter. If you haven't already, you will need to install all the goodies before you run the stuff, or you will do damage to the engine. As well, there are others who will say that you will damage the engine just running the stuff. You decide.

Dont know if Ill get in trouble posting the link but mine is the Nomad system.The kit comes with everything you need to run the WVO.Tank, in tank pre-heater.filters.pump, the wireing and plumbing(heater hose extentions) to hook it all up.
Why I am selling the kit is that a freind of mine dynoed his truck last week on WVO with the same mods my truck is getting and he lost almost 150 horse power AnD has gone through a set of injectors plus the negative things i have seen with the WVO.

Theis are the Bio-Diesel kits that I am looking at.

That is quite a change. I would guess that there is something wrong with his system or filtering, because I have had no troubles whatsoever, either in power or engine problems. What is his set-up, how hot is his oil getting before injection?

Well if you ever sell off your WVO kit I might be interested. Though I need to find a tank I can mount under the bed or in the deadspace in front of the rear wheels inside the bed. I tow bikes so I need the room, cant use a toolbox type tank. Anything I stick in the front of the box might get dented from the bike wheels too. How did you have that tank mounted? Straight across the bed or in front of the wheel?
I dont have anything to lose as far as injectors and pump go since those both need replacing anyhow. Will need to watch my engine oil for contamination though I think.

yeah I was looking at the link. That would be perfect for me if I could mount it someplce else... crap! I like the idea of being able to heat and filter on the go like that. Youd be able to collect and filter without having a home setup. I could replace that single tank with two smaller tanks on either side of the bed and Id probably be happy
