My Nissan SD33 WVO conversion is currently using an electric fuel pump and struggling to get enough pressure. I've tried a facet, carter & holley and all have been poor. (as others have stated - vane pumps are no good for WVO). I want to keep the WVO & diesel fuel & filtering systems as separate as possible for reliability. I've considered using the stock lift pump for WVO and the electric pump for diesel, but have concerns with the stock LP trying to push unheated oil through a cold filter - this will appear as a dead end until the filter heater kicks in to heat the HMP oils in the filter. Will this excess strain cause me grief with the lift pump? the stock diesel filter has a return to tank so that the LP is still passing diesel when running on WVO.
I also considered using the LP for both diesel & WVO but steered away from this option due to excess contamination on the diesel filter.
My preference is to leave the stock LP for diesel & use some form of electric pump for WVO, but does such pump exist and can it be purchased at a reasonable cost (something in 24V would be a great help )
