Make sure it doesn't sit for over a week or two with any v/o in the pump or injectors!

Its got 2 3 way valves so you purge the sytems before you shut it down everytime i live in iowa so there is no way it would start in the winter if there was veg in the system after shut down

Veg and bio both trash pumps if they set for long durations

So a good purge is mandatory

My biggest concern is the cp3 and wether or not it can handle th svo (straight veg oil) since i havent been able to find anything about that also read the vp44 dosent handle it to well just making sure it isnt the same case with the cp3

I helped install a vegi-ram on my buddies 06 5.9CR like two years ago... still going strong.

Plant drive is junk.

The vegi-ram is currently under reconstruction through BFT, but should be released again pretty soon. They're expensive, but they're the BEST, turn key, automated kit on the planet.

WVO Diesel Conversion | SVO Grease Conversion | Ford Vegistroke Powerstroke | Biodiesel Conversion I use their vegistroke kit on my 06 powerstroke. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Why do you say planet drive is no good

Mdub707 10-03-2011 09:27 AM

Why do you think they are good? They sell you a bag of parts you can buy anywhere that is marked up, and it's no where near a complete kit. They advertise their system works on the 7.3/6.0/6.4... The 6.4 is a completely different fuel system than the other two so I'm not sure how they're going to use the same pieces. They come with essentially no instructions and no help. The plantdrive systems I've seen look like a high school science fair project.

I'm not sure what they've changed in the last few years but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that they still use copper plated heat exchangers, or transmission coolers hanging in plastic boat tanks.
