    Setting timing on my 7.3 IDI 1993

    As I want to eventually burn WVO in the truck my understanding is 8 degrees advanced is what it should be set at. The truck is set up with seperate f7uel systems so when I take the plunge it should do OK. I am not interested in smoke or mpg but the use of wvo is my ultimate use. I have about 7...

    Cover replacement on my 7.3 IP

    On my 1993 7.3 rebuilt IP it lasted only 3 weeks and then no fuel was coming out. I contacted the rebuilder who is located 150 miles from home.

    I am running a Frybid circular HE with a oem ford filter in the middle. This past summer I witnessed my diesel froth to such a point that I developed air in the line.

    wvo in idi

    Before you put a heater on your system if you run 75diesel 25 wvo you will be heating your diesel and will wind up with a frothing condition. If you go 25 diesel 75 wvo you mite get away with it. In So Fl I run 20diesel /80wvo filtered to 1 micron with no heat on my mercedes's. On my f350 7.3...

It has been running fine for the 2 weeks that the IP was installed. I left the lights on in a rainstorm for 8 hours. I charged it overnite and...

    wvo in idi

    Wvo can be mixed with diesel all day long and will not separate. You do not have to change hoses with wvo. You do have to change hoses with bio. You only have to heat wvo when you want to run it unblended. I have been blending for 7 years and in So Fl blending is the norm. When winter comes I...

    Anti siphon valves fo wvo

    They are one way valves which open under pressure and when not under pressure prevent a siphoning action. The diesel line will have the valve before the filter head so that I will not lose prime in the filter but I am wondering where to put the valve for wvo usage. Before the head or after the...
