Okay before we start, I am going to run WVO in this vehicle. I don't need to be talked out of it or for someone to attempt to convince me otherwise. SO here is where I am at
I jsut recently rebuilt my 2000 ALH due to a turbo failure followed by a runaway engine (01m go figure) that my son was driving. For the record this motor has never had wvo in it prior to rebuid, only a few tanks of bio was it. Motor is a fresh build even including new pistons. Motor now has about 1100 miles on it on dino and is running fine. I plan to run only dino or bio for first 10k miles. After that though I plan to install a hopefully well thought out setup. My point here is to list what I have done and what I intend to do and get any additions to the list. I believe in the technology when done right and have been successfully been doing it in other vehicles for years.
So far, the injectors are rebuilt and and pop is properly set, a new set of Bosch glow plugs are installed. I am installing a egt gauge, boost gauge, and oil pressure gauge this week (some unrelated I know but had to fill the a-pillar pod up ) From my readings, I need to do a fuel temp sensor mod with a resistor, and advance the timing a bit (i think that was recommended).
My home setup is I settle oil for 2-4 weeks and also centrifuge it before putting it in the final holding tank. It may sit there awhile to since my pup and 93 Jetta only sip on the stuff. My final filter after centrifuge on the pump is 2 micron as it goes into the tank (prob not needed, but I am paranoid).
My car setup will be two tank system system (in tank heat exchanger of course) with hose in hose all the way to the engine bay, then into a fphe then into a heated fuel filter. This of course will feed two 3 way valves. Other than that I am open for ideas. Today on my IDI pup, i purge 30-60 seconds and drive 2 miles before shutting down and I intend to mimic this on the Jetta.
Again, please refrain from trying to tell me how bad WVO is and to not use it. The purpose of this thread is to gather relevant information for my conversion and nothing more. I have ran bio-diesel and like it but I choose to run WVO. I know my motor (heck I rebuilt my motor), and want to make this a successful conversion. It can be done, it has been done by many. If it breaks, I'll fix it. One good thing here is I am starting with a clean slate and everything is up to par for the conversion. Some may ask why put oil in a new motor. Simply put, because I choose to Not trying to be cocky or snippy, I just read some of the threads on there and they get pretty rough, so I thought I would get my punches in upfront before I get flamed
