This has been submitted by Tim-HJ61 :

Not all vehicles can be listed, so we have developed a guide for those
people starting on this interesting journey of using WVO as fuel. You will
have to know three things about your engine - not your vehicle - but your
engine and then work through the matrix.

Does it have:
- Indirect or Direct Injection?
- Is the injection pump an inline or a Bosch VE rotary pump?
- Are the injectors Mechanical or Electronic?


This rating system is simply a guide to the relative ease of conversion for various types of engines and the particular issues you may have. For example, a newbie with a Level 5 engine has a much bigger learning curve and risk associated with conversion than with a Level 1 engine.


Level 1
Indirect Injection + Inline injection Pump + Mechanical injectors
Examples - Mercedes 5 cyl, older Toyota Hilux, 2H Landcruiser, older Nissan 4.2, Nissan SD22, SD33.


Level 2.
Indirect Injection + Rotary (Bosch VE) injection pump + Mechanical injectors
Examples: 1HZ Landcruiser, Hilux, Nissan 2.8 and 4.2

Level 3.
Direct Injection + Inline injection pump + Mechanical injectors
Examples: Toyota 12h-T

Level 4
Direct injection + Rotary (Bosch VE) injection pump + Mechanical injectors
Example: Toyota 1HDT

Level 5
Direct Injection + Rotary (Bosch VE) Injection pump + electronic injectors
Example: Nissan 3l, Toyota 1HD-FTE, all modern common rail engines.

Level 6
Engines such as those with Lucas Injection Pumps

Although not assigned a rating, Duramax engines with HEIP Injectors may present further challenges. There has been little long term testing on these engines. Perhaps we can rate them at some time in the future.
