Bio-Diesel System



If i understand the ad right, he wants me to put that cruddy looking junk that is all over the place in the pictures in my fuel tank and pay him for it without even telling me how to make the cruddy looking junk. I am already trying to deal with the aftereffects of a bad load of fuel in one truck. Do not need to kill the good one too.



No thanks.

I had a friend that ran wvo in a mercedes and ranger diesel. The ranger was better setup (than the mercedes) for it in that it had two small 20 gallon tanks with heaters. The first one had a pump that could suck it all up into the tank. Then it was pumped through a series of filters into the "clean tank" and then i do not know how it was plugged into the rest of the series but it made it easy to fuel.

hmmm, my set-up for filtering is exactly whats in the vid, but i got another filter set-up prior to tank on truck. For heating in the truck, i rock'n the 20-FPHE, TIH set-up (tube in hose assy), the veggie tank and the coolant tube, running thru it...so it should be hot enough once it hits the heads. Come summer, i got the ball valves to shut flow off to the tank, since it gets hot enough here, it wont need the added heat.

Wow. $900 for less than $100 worth of pump, ball valves, pipe, and a used water heater?? At least the guy could clean it up a bit for the picture.
