I used a Plant Drive kit for my 05 WVO conversion

Erick - I was going to convert my 99 but sold it before I got around to it. Then I bought an 85 MB 300D which I did convert with Plantdrive's standard two tank kit. I plan to sell the MB as I just bought a 97 Superduty 7.3 and transfer my kit to it. Do you know if that kit will work; will I need any additional components? Plantdrive doesn't list a kit for the OBS PSDs but I don't want to lose my investment.

If this is a first gen 7.3 they are a challenge and this kit you have won’t adapt straight away.
For one the stock filter, Pressure regulator, are very big and since the, I think lower pressure and high pressure pumps are in this assembly, can't easily be by-passed. So purge times can be very long. The return runs back through this all as well. You will need 2 three way valves minimum.
The Vegtherm standard you have may not keep up with the larger flow of this engine. For the second gen 7.3 and all 6.0 PSDs they sell the Vegtherm Mega.
I do know that one of Plant Drives installers is working on some very specific instructions for installing a WVO kit in this truck. So at some point they will have a kit.
Maybe sell the kit with the car for more money then you could without the kit and start over.
