OPEC Hater
Since the weather cooled off and we've had a couple nights in a row below freezing, I've noticed that my WMO is thickening up enough to affect timing (white smoke with agressive throttle instead of black.) I've flipped back and forth between tanks and assured myself that this is what is happening. Anyway, walking out of the parts store a few days ago I heard a familiar sound, there was a guy getting his alternator checked out on an '89 extended cab so I walked over to check it out. He was running straight WVO and had a fuel heater made from an M-Benz glow plug and some pipe. It was kind of a hack job but it worked. I thought to myself "-I can do better than that..." So I did, I had some spare ZD9's so I went to Home Depot and got a 1/2"T, close nipple & cap, then 2 each brass 1/2to3/8 reducers and 3/8 hose barbs. Had to hit Ace for a metric tap to fit the ZD9. Hit A-Z for a 30A relay & 30A blade fuse holder. A little re-org on the filter locations and installation of a lighted rocker switch immediately next to the tank selector switch and we were in bidness. Apparently when a ZD9 is completely submerged in fuel it can be run continuously just like a Benz plug. It's made a radical difference in the way the motor runs on WMO at below freezing conditions. If anyone's interested I'll get a couple pics of it this evening.
