I run it for about 1200 miles, and I have a few thing I'd like to share.

Egt's where lower for about 50 to 100 degrees.
Coolant temp about the same, although it seem lower.
Boost was lower 1 or 2 lbs, I do not make much boost usually (i was running empty too) but it was less boost.

The power was a bit lower but nothing too bad for close to free fuel :D . Well not soo cheap yet, since I have to make up for the money I spend on the whole project.


Well for those that are planing on doing it, I must say I like the results so far :thumbsup: .

My SVO system has been running for a week. :thumbsup: I should have converted years ago. I expect that after 6 months I will have amortized the cost of the system. My first long road trip will be in two weeks.

Great Aleck, post back with results and make sure You filter it good.
I'm filtering down to 1 micron now.

I'm running 50 gal of soy VVO at first. I'm still working on settling, filtering and de-watering but my plan is to go down to 1 micron. Both the OEM fuel filter and water separator filters are rated at 10 microns.

Water filter from evilbay, they have a whole setup and you can convine shipping, also you can get the filters at home cheapo, I don't remember the head or braket but it should be there too. They have them on 1, 5, 10, 20 micron. It works pretty good.
