    wmo and direct injection

    Iam doing a twin tank conversion this time, I have learnt from the mistakes I have made, I am also fitting the filtration system to the van so that I will be filtering a batch of fuel whilst running, it will have another power steering pump running oil through a land rover td5 centrifuge oil...

    wmo and direct injection

    been lurking on this forum for a while, I was running a little Rover metro with a 1.5 tud5 engine in it, it was a little idi diesel and performed faultless for months on wmo, I had all sorts of teething issues, it turned out to be loads of little inline filters in adition to the main filter...

    hi there

    blown engine on the rover metro tud5 diesel, it popped its clogs after around 9000miles of wmo 80% blend with diesel, tryed allsorts of different de-watering techneques blar blar and found it best to mix in a large barrel cold and then filter through a vw t4 petrol canister filter into the tank...

    some of you know that I have had one or two issues with regards to smoke, particularly on idle. I have been sampling allsorts of different mixes, different filter setups and different processing. over the past 5k of driving I have had one filter plug up on the vehicle and one of my inline 15...

    WMO for dummies

    cold filter it , in my recent experience, trying to do the so called right thing and evaporate the suspended water off with heat evaporates the light elements away leaving you with a slower burning fuel, I have conducted my tests which are very basic side by side tests of heat treated 100% wmo...

    best choice of glow plugs

    We have somthing called fuel duty, we also have VAT at 20%, when buying oil as a lubricant you pay VAT which is 20%of its total price, because diesels run on prettymuch any combustable liquid our government dictates that if we re use the oil as fuel then you need to pay the fuel duty which is...

    best choice of glow plugs

    yes I understand that there is issues with viscosity, at -5*c my sample is still fluid enough to pour freely from the jar, but like you said it will be operating outside its optimum by a country mile. At the minute I am waiting to start my new job as a teacher in motor vehicle mechanics and...

    best choice of glow plugs

    tdi vehicles are so cheap over here Vw passats, Bora(jetta),mk3/4 golf (rabbit) are around $700-1000, in fact theres more diesel Vag group cars than any other manufactures. having said that the best engines I have run on wmo have been, isuzu 1.7 idi, ford 2.5di, and the peugeot tud5 and in...

    best choice of glow plugs

    i fitted a hand operated priming pump to the feed, this has a non return valve in it, this stopped the priming issue and the loop is contained very close to the pump rather than round another filter. I have most of the parts to make a heat exchanger system that recirculates oil down the feed...

    best choice of glow plugs

    theres nothing factory about my glow plug system, basically it is two bolts that are briged with a brass plate to operate them, the glow plug relay on the standard setup was garbage, the engine in question is a 1.5 liter peugeot tud5 idi diesel equipped with the superb bosch ve fuel pump and...

    best choice of glow plugs

    Is there a glow plug available that will stand extended glow times for starting on wmo. I have done around 3k so far on neat oil with nothing to thin it down and is heat treated to get shut of water then filtered to 15microns with a simple inline petrol filter, this seems to work well, not that...

    what % of wmo is safe?

    breakers yards are full of old peugeot idi engines in the uk, I am not sure how much it would be to ship an engine over but It could be arranged, the tud5 diesel is 1500cc but usually come s with a lucas fuel pump which hate oil, I converted mine to a bosch setup. the 1.9 xud9a engines are...

    what % of wmo is safe?

    merc 300d are awsome cars, filter the oil and runn it. you will find yourself experimenting with more and more oil untill you are close to or are running 100%, I am running a peugeot tud5 engine with a bosch pump tuned for oil, I had smoke issues to start with but I have sorted them out with a...

    smoke on idle

    cut my teeth on vw idi diesel engines and also mtdi conversions, I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction with regards to the mtdi conversions and how to set up the pump. mtdi is the way forwards when running wmo in a 1z/ahu/alh engine. I fitted a 1z mtdi to a transporter...

    what % of wmo is safe?

    heres what I have found on euopean vehicles with bosch VE distributer pumps, you can run 100% oil all the time, the injection timing definitely needs tweeking and also the delivery of fuel from the tank needs to be a single feed and a looped return. Idealy the feed from the tank needs a coolant...

    smoke on idle

    sorry for getting defensive, I have sorted the smoking out, it must have been the timing, I have advanced it untill the peak combustion pressure is at the same or similar point to when on diesel, when the pump was built I ran wvo and it was built to deliver a larger quantity of fuel to the...

    smoke on idle

    I am a fully qualified mechanic, I did time the pump up to stock parameters but the pump is far from standard oem, its a hybrid made from 3 different bosch ve fuel pumps, it has an 11mm pump head from a landrover pump, a ford transit DI cam plate for extra lift and the internal throttle lever is...

    smoke on idle

    I am now trying a different mix and the timing advance set more appropriately for the slower burn of oil, I am now running 20% parafin/kerosene and have no smoke issues anymore or any air ingress. what I found with the petrol mixtures that I was running was that it was like air was getting into...

    smoke on idle

    timing has helped hell of alot, it is set at the maximum advance that is available without moving the pump hub a few degrees on the tapered shaft, I am still getting the vapour lock symptoms once warm but I will be trying thinning the oil with kero/parafin in the next mix. fuel prices are £1.14...

    smoke on idle

    I have a looped return with a filter on the loop and the standard heated filter on the supply feed into the loop, I was running 100% wmo and its been ok, as soon as I thin the oil with RUG it gets symptoms of fuel starvation, exactly the opposite to what I would expect, I have had simular...
