SVO / biodiesel : big truck, 400+ hp Ford Louisville, caterpillar engine?

I'm eager to use either SVO or doit-youself biodesel from Waste vegetable oil in a dump truck - Caterpillar engine, 1999, "Ford Louisville", 1999, 400+ hp.

Has 2 tanks already - 75 gal. each.

Used to haul dirt from excavating.

This is in S.E. Penna.

All hints / advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!!

Eager to make it or purchase it? The easiest way is go to whatever biodiesel retailer is closest to you and fill it up. No modifications neccessary.

SVO Kit

http://www.goldenfuelsystems.com/

He wants to purchase the SVO kit or start making biodiesel.

This site has big rig kits, I have dump trucks, so i'm right there with ya!

Yes, one tank can run standard pump and us the other for SVO. It must be heated, also a good idea to install a racor fh1000 filters. Check that site.
