Veggie Oil Conversion?

I've got a question. What system were you using? It sounds like its something you used and got burned on? How was your system set up? I'm just curious if there was a flaw in your systems design. Its hard for me to believe all these guys are running systems and have been (assuming they aren't full of ****) with no issues. So for the sake or argument can you explain your system layout and what caused your failure? Might clear some things up

WG, I have personally ran over 10,000 gal. of WVO in my 2003 6.0 - somewhere around 140,000 - 150,000 miles now.
I also personally know at least 10 others who have passed the 100k mile mark with WVO and 1 guy who has passed the 200k miles mark.
What you should do is educate yourself with the best conversion on the market rather than a lovecraft hackjob. I am fully aware of Lovecraft and they will destroy an engine as they are not a proper conversion.
Come over to BioFuels Technologies Forum - Powered by vBulletin and do some reading from these very people I mentioned with over 100k miles on WVO.

There is no such thing. The only possible way to use WVO properly is to convert it into Biodiesel.
So, running garbage through your $10,000 engine....is?
ALL diesel vehicles, actually.
You're willing to make a heated two tank system? It works just as well for BioDiesel....
Stock tank or heated two tank system, it doesn't change WVO's damaging contents, only its viscosity.
They have already been asking. Step up, if you actually have anything to present.

How is WVO not a fuel? It's an oil, we use by burning to create heat/power. I'd really like to hear your explanation of what is classified as a fuel?
Just for the record, none of us are against bio, that is another viable option. Why do you say I'm running garbage through my engine? Care to back that up with any factual information? Again, you seem filled with half-truths. Do you have any scientific, factual data you care to bring to the table? I have nothing to prove to you, the system is on my truck and burning WVO just fine. You're correct, my system will also burn bio just fine as well, but why bother going through the extra steps of processing when I can just filter and burn? Seems silly to me.
I'd really like to hear EXACTLY what these "damaging contents" of WVO. I'm all ears...
Just so you're aware, you're not talking to about 5 or 6 guys successfully using two tank heated systems that are probably over 250k combined miles of use... so we'd really like to hear how what we are currently using isn't going to work...

You have such low intellect that you're not worth more than this paragraph. No matter what I say, you'll just reply with increasing stupidity and irrationality. You are incapable of holding a civil debate with a human being so this will be my only reply to you no matter what else you say.

Incorrect.
"Fuel" in this context is what is approved by the manufacturer, EPA and DOT to be used in your vehicle.
Its not approved by the EPA and DOT to be used as such.
WVO is exactly that.
Thet is an opinion, not fact.
Its the right, and legal, thing to do.
Fat, glycerin and acidity.
Combined use is not scientific data. There could be 100 engines that all ran for 2500 miles and you would be able to make the same "combined miles of use" claim.

Thats the source of the problem with your post.
Here is another thought, moderator, you could move this thread to the "alternative fuels" section where it belongs since its your job to do things like that.....

Humm, it looks like his last post there was 04-04-2011, you're a little late to the party bud!

Again, absolutely nothing to prove any of your points. The combined miles from this thread are amongst 4 or 5 users, not 100. I can point you to single users that are over 200k on a single engine. The only thing you've brought to this discussion is your own personal opinion. I'm not going to argue the legalities of WVO use with you, because it's not a clear cut issue.
As for me moving or not moving the thread. It was posted in this section to ask about conversion on a specific diesel engine.
Please break it down, explain how "fat" "glycerin" and "acidity" are ruining my engine.
