I'm no expert but just from what I read, I think most of his problem came from what ever destroyed the first turbo. What ever it was and however long it was left unchecked to get there probably did it. You can see where debris made marks on the head and stuff as it past through. If he had blowby that bad, engine oil can gum up stuff something aweful. If you have ever seen an engine with blowby from a leaky cylinder head into the area below the intake where the pushrods are(chevy in my experience) it can be hard nasty stuff. But noone will know for sure unless they would have scrapped it off the valves and sent the crap in for analasys(sp)

 

I've been looking at the Frybrid kit for my 04, once the warranty is out on it. My only concern is, I need the WVO tank to go under the bed of the truck, since I have a slide in camper, and need all the room in the bed of the truck.. Are there any options for this? Even if I had to take out my spare tire, and keep it elsewhere, like in the bed of the truck when the camper is not in, or in the camper when the camper is on the truck, that would be fine.

It will be a while before I can do it but you might want to think about this. I am talking to my cousin about welding me up a tankto fit in the stock location that will have two chambers. A smaller one for diesel to crank and purge and a large one for the WVO. I havent figured out how I would run thefiller necks, I was sort of thinking two smaller necks and caps might fit in the regular location. Just a thought.

 

LYPO DIESEL OR BIO DIESEL SUCKS ...

AND MY INJECTORZ DONT DO CHOKE !!!!!
WE ARE HOOKE ON ICE WATER AND METH!!!

I HAVE MANY MOONS OF WVO . I DRVE WITH A NO PASS RULE

MEAN NONE SHALL PASS

FREE FUEL + PASS A GAS STATION === U CANT SLAP THE SMILE OFFF MY FACE _
I DRAN K BEER WITH JASON OF VEGIESTROKE HE DROVE FROM 14HRS T O PARTY AND DO AN INSTALL .... NEED I SAY MORE... PAY FOR FUEL SEE IF I CARE .. AND CHENERY THE OIL WEST OF THE ROCKES .... WELL I CALL DIBSSS

Not when i'm in town...

 

Properly made biodiesel is way better for your engine than crude WVO!

And it works in any diesel without vehicle modification.

If you convert a rig, that's all you got... one vehicle, and you need to run 1/2 hour or more to get any use from the WVO.

Wrong. Properly made Bio-D is fine but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using straight Vegi oil. You do have to convert your engine with a seperate heated fuel system. I switchover to vegi after 3-5 miles depending on the ambient temps outside.
Bio-d will have cost involved too...as much as 1.50 per gallon actually. Meth is up to 5 bucks a gallon and you need 20 percent meth to 80% vegi oil so in a 50 gallon batch you are going to have 10 gallons of Methanol... thats 50 bucks right there.
With straight vegi oil, after you buy the conversion, theres nothing more to buy except filters and they are cheap relatively. I would estimate it cost me less than a nickle a gal. to filter vegi oil. And I can process 50 gallons with as little as 30 minutes of my time...you will spend more than that processing Bio-d i promiss you.

 

CHenry, How can I get some details on your setup? I tried to PM but I don't have enough posts.

 

There was a guy on another forum that lives in Phoenix where the temps stay above 100 degrees in the summer... he poured WVO straight into his fuel tank.

Everything was fine until it cooled off, his truck was DOA. He drained the WVO, heated everything back up filled it with diesel, changed the filters and eventually got it started back up.

While he was running WVO, he praised it alot. After the WVO thickened up on him and since cleaning it out... he has had no evident lasting damage. He intends upon trying the WVO again when the temperatures get back up.

On the other hand I have tried bio-diesel and have had a few problems.

 

I see me having a problem of disposing of the glycerin the by product of producing bio-d...ideas welcome.
