Hi everyone. This is my first post here. I am a member of 4 other forums (3 biofuel and 1 diesel). I was referred to this site by a posting on www.biodiesel.infopop.cc

Anyway, I'm very interested in svo. I've been studying svo for about 3-4 years now.

I own an 88 F-250 7.3 IDI. When I first bought the truck, I new that its Stanadyne IP wasn't the best choice for svo conversion, but I was under the impression that if it were treated properly it would be okay.

A few days ago, I spoke to a local lady mech who basically told me that these Stanadyne IPs were doomed to die if run on svo. She mentioned a hot starting problem and said svo use was "high maintenance".

I've heard of people having problems running veggie through these IPs before, but I've also heard success stories too.

If anyone here has any experience running the Ford diesels on veggie, please let me know how it was/is for you.

Thanks in advance!
