Hi all,
My first post. I am considering converting my 2002 landcruiser with a 1HZ motor to run on WVO.
I have been ready the posts on this forum for the past week and I cannot find any info on anyone converting a 1HZ motor to SVO/WVO. a couple have been run on biodiesel.
I am looking at purchasing a kit http://www.4x4outdoortuning.com.au/diesel-to-vegetable-oil-conversion/diesel-wvo-vegetable-oil-conversion/to-75-kw-100-hp-diesel-to-vegetable-oil-conversion-svo-wvo-kit-12v-24v.html. would this kit be suitable or should I source individual components myself.
I have 1HZ motor (320,000 kms) with a rotary IP (Denso) indirect injection. I have ready rotary Injection pumps are not preferred, but will be ok if oil heated sufficiently.
The landcruiser already has 2 tanks so I was wondering if I can use the main tank for the WVO and the secondary for diesel to startup and purge?
I have a steady supply of oil from 2 sources in Newcastle. I currently go through around 80-100 litres of diesel a week, so converting will save me $$$ quickly. Mostly freeway driving. I have already been collecting for the last month. I currently have 2 x 220L blue plastic barrels settling the oil that I filtered through a plastic fly screen and then bed sheet. Just bought a couple of 1 micron filter from Tony from west oz on ebay and will put the settled oil through these before transfering into another 2 barrels.
Look forward to getting further advise from you all and also sharing my experience as I go through the process.
Regards
Paul
