It needs a turbo...
SVO? I can't keep all the acronyms in line. Is that straight veggie oil?
How did the trip go? Did you adjust your IP for it?

If he was going out the door at the time of post, he's still driving. Pennsy is a wide state across.
a "wide state" is TX or the length of kali.

Your correct, but I was basing it on an East Coaster's View.

just got home. i meant straight waste veggie, not mixed with diesel like i was last year. only problem was i had to replace a clogged fuel filter. so $31 to go roughly 800 miles!!! i love it! seemed to run great too. my egts were hotter than normal though. i really think the IP is retarded and im losing alot of my combustion out the exhaust. other than that it was freakin sweet!

Did you run a heat exchanger on it? Congrats on the trip, I love that feeling of traveling on little dime.

Texas is square, 800 miles top to bottom, 800 miles left to right.
And the County I live in is about the size of Rhode Island. And it's a small one.

Your timing will be different with the WVO and the mix of the diesel. Also, I have a buddy who ran WVO consistently. He loved it except for one little thing. The glycerine started to clog the pump and injectors after about 6mos of daily driving. I would go like 3-4 tanks and then one of about 90% diesel to clean it up. Maybe just me, but think about it.
BTW, what was your milage?

i do have a big heat exchanger before the filter. the timing did feel different. im trying to look up info on adjusting the pump right now. the truck feels alot more sluggish and egts are much higher. i honestly cant tell you the mileage on wvo. i have no way of measuring it. im expecting at least 16, thats what i get empty with #2. it ran real nice though, just wasnt climbing hills like it should.
