specs on fuel supply to the heads...

I'm going for my WVO conversion.

I'm creating a complete second fuel system using a hydraulic pump for the WVO.


Now, I need to "Tee" into the existing fuel supply to the heads, what thread and size are they?

Also, I want to install a drain valve on each head, (where the fuel return was on buses etc), what size is that plug???

Thanks in advance.

Where exactly are you looking to tee into the existing fuel supply. I can tell you that the front and rear ports on the heads themselves are 1/8" NPT.

I want to put a splitter on each head where the line comes from the bowl.
I'm putting a check valve on each diesel supply line, and same with WVO.
This way, if theres any WVO problems, the diesel starts flowing.

I wanted to put a drain valve on each head to drain in the event of forgetting to shut if off on diesel, or getting rid of any air in heads during setup.

Not sure if this will help, but the fittings in the bowl are 1/8" NPT as well. Unfortunately, I don't know what the actual fuel line itself is. Looks like I'm not much help.

Hey Park, I know you brought this up before- did you get a chance to look at my gallery pics, to see how it's usually done to run WVO, plus get a cackle cure out if it at the same time?
