Default Kubota on WVO

Hey, I was wondering if any one has ran a kubota on WVO, specifically the v2203di? I have one swapped into my ranger now with a K03 turbo on it and I'd like to try running it on WVO this summer. Anyone with experience or advice let me know! Thanks

I have been thinking the same thing but WMO. My current motor is a IDI. I haven't finished the swap but already building my WMO setup, Including Centrifuge

I have not found anyone that has run them on alternative fuels. I would assume they should run good.
I am planning a 2 tank system running my main 10 gallon tank on D2 for start and stop and a second 30 gallon in bed tank with WMO. I will be heating with coolant(hopefully 180*) I commute only 50 miles daily but if it works out I will be driving it everywhere.

I have an unlimited supply of descent waste oil and used hydraulic fluid. I will be cutting with Gas at 10%.

I am hoping to run the wmo straight and not have to mix with D2. My area rarely sees freezing. Lows are generally mid 30's in winter and mid 70's summer at night.

Good luck and hope these little motors surprise us again!!!!

You should have no problem with that running an idi. All the mennonites around my around do that with waste oil. Will be interesting to see whether you need a fuel heater or not
