they will sell just the bowl for 200.00 and then you could build the rest yourself I want to do belt drive that way I could get to 7000 rpm and be able to vary my rpm's to get the best output

Cool, Thanks for the info. I like the fact that it comes with the heater installed for the same price.

What is "fattywagons heaters"? I actually purchased a Peterbuilt tank heater off of Ebay and put it in the tank on my pickup truck. Luckily I have two tanks, so yes, when I'm 3 minutes from home, I switch it to the diesel to keep the WVO from being in the IP on shutdown.

Thanks for the post!

Veggie is a completely different animal (cough, cough - no pun intended) from WMO.

Nothing unusual required, heating, injector lines or anything else, to run WMO in a diesel.

Hehehe, its still done the same today.
But at least they changed the oil. Have seen a V12 biturbo cat gen which had to run without oil change until it died- poor thing.

Fattywagon heaters wrap around injection lines and heat the fuel.They are also good for starting in colder weather with diesel.
I have used them with used motor oil to thin fuel out,so injectors spray rather than dribble.
I now run SVO or WVO,after learning used motor oils,have nasty chemicals that will hurt small children.

My old ford 6.9 diesel I just dump in up to 5 gallons of oil and top off the tank with diesel. I don't filter it or anything. I haven't had any problems yet.
