6.2 Chevy lift pump

mngreaser — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:20:41 GMT

Looking for a little help here....

I'm converting an 84 chevy 6.2 with dual tanks. I'm going to have dedicated filters for diesel and WVO. I'm in the process of ordering all the stuff, an am wondering if I need to replace the mechanical lift pump that currently exists for the diesel system with an electronic pump? If so, then I imagine have the power to the lift pump tied into the toggle for fuel selection?

Or can I just leave the mechanical pump as is and let it pump all the while the system is running on WVO?

I'm guessing it needs to be replaced, but am looking for confirmation.

Any suggestions on where to order electronic lift pumps?

Thanks,

Dan

The simple coolant jackets filter heater wrap.

danalinscott — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:14:13 GMT

Coolant jacket filter heater.

Here is a handy, inexpensive, and simple to make filter heater.. It is surprisingly effective considering its cost and ease of fabrication and can prove useful in most vegoil conversion applications.

An example of the finished jacket is pictured here.

White zipties have been used for image clarity but for a more professional appearance I normally use black zipties. The only tools required are a sharp knife to cut the hose to length, a pliers to tighten the zipties, and a wire cutter to nip off the ends of the zipties for a clean appearance.

The filter element used in the example is a Goldenrod

Model#596 which is a 3.5" x 5" element. Larger elements will require more hose to cover completely. The amount of heat added to the vegoil passing through the filter is directly proportional to the surface contact between the coolant filled coil so covering as much of the filter element as possible is best. A snug fit is also desirable since it will exaggerate the D shaped profile the hose takes on when it is coiled. This D shaped profile is what makes a flexible hose jacket several times more efficient at transferring coolant heat to the filter than a copper coil when combined with the ability to get a very snug fit.

Begin by purchasing a high quality flexible fuel line in sufficient quantity to not only make the jacket but to also reach the point at which you plan to tie in to the passenger heater coolant supply lines. In the example the amount needed just for the jacket alone was 11 feet. It is best to take a spare filter element along with you when you purchase the hose to help determine exactly how much is needed for the jacket portion. Buy the best quality fuel line possible but not "high pressure" fuel line which is up to 5 times more expensive than "regular" flexible "rubber" fuel line. If you want to spend the extra money for "injector system fuel line" it will also work....but I have found no advantage to using it.

Wrap the hose (which will later carry hot coolant) around the filter element snugly. It is best to use a clean spare filter element to work with as a form. Placing it in a plastic baggie may also help in the process to aid in easily slipping the filter in and out of the "basket" you will be making from the hose and zipties during the following steps.

Now, using 4 strips of duct tape about 1" wide secure the coil to itself so it will hold together when you remove it from the filter you have used as a form. Any sticky, strong tape will work but duct tape seems to work best.

For those tempted to use duct tape to form a skin over the hose coil and "forget" the zipties...dont be. It seems simpler..but the heat of the coolant will cause the adhesive to fail.

?Now carefully remove the taped coil from the filter element you have been using as a form. It will shift slightly but it should retain its basic form.

Being careful to not disturb the tape holding the coiled hose in place begin to tie the coil together using 6" zipties. If you look carefully at the examples you will see that I prefer to place the "head" of the ziptie in the position where I want it to end up and then push the other end through from the inside of the coil. This makes for a much cleaner installation but is not critical.

14 zipties were used in the example shown here but more can be used if you wish. Each ziptie will connect 3 hose coils to each other. Leave them loose enough at this point to allow some coil adjustment later. Dont tighten them yet!

By using an alternating pattern of zipties (look at the picture of the finished product at the top to see it) the individual coils of hose are connected to its neighboring coils and the entire unit becomes and open ended "basket" of hose and zipties.

Once you have all zipties loosely in place you can remove the tape and slip the coil back onto the filter/form. Adjust the ziptied and hose so it is once again snug on the filter and begin tightening the ties progressively using your pliers. Do this a little at a time and working around and around the coil. Do not pull the ties so tight that they deform the wall of the hose or cause them to ride up over each other. Once you are convinced that you have the right tension on the ties you can nip the ends off with your wire cutter.

You can remove the coil from the filter and it will retain its final form.

You may now wish to bring your inlet and outlet hose ends together in a "pigtail" which will make routing them to your coolant connections easier and cleaner. A single tie can be used to secure the bent hose to the coil as shown in the picture to the left and a few more can be added to the pigtail to hold it together as well.

And that is about all there is to it. You now have a simple but effective filter heater coolant jacket that is will add a lot of heat to your vegoil as it passes through and is capable of thawing cold, solidified vegoil in a cold filter. This is not a substitute for a coolant/vegoil heat exchanger nor is it capable of boosting vegoil temps as high as needed for safe long term VO fuel use.

For that I suggest using a Flat Plate Heat Exchanger and Injector Line Heaters.

The HotRod coolant heated fuel pickup

danalinscott — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:30:24 GMT

The HotRod coolant heated fuel pickup is a simple but effective coolant heated fuel pickup made from common copper plumbing pipe and fittings. It can be made by anyone who is capable of producing leak free solder joints using the "How-to" files available HERE.

Custom length HotRods are also available HERE.

HotRods can be installed in most steel tanks by brazing or welding a Black Iron 1" NPT port into which it can be threaded. 4" of clearance should be proved for the HotRod and fuel/coolant line to extend beyond the side of the tank. The HotRod sould be mounted as low in one side of the tank as possible for maximum efficiency.

The HotRod can ALSO be installed in plastic tanks (such as inexpensive outboard marine motor tanks) using a "washer/gasket" sandwich thorugh the tanks wall.

It has been suggested that copper should not be used in VO conversion since copper can accellerate VO polymerization. This is true of ALL metals but even with metallic accellerants the reaction is so slow it has not been reported to actually cause any noticable problems as long as the HotRod is mounted as reccomended above.

HOH lines are usually intended to liquefy any VO which has solidified in the line during the time the engine has been shut down and to slightly warm the VO as it travels toward the engine from the VO/PO tank. HOH is usually easier to bend than HIH and so can be simpler to install and provide a "cleaner" looking installation. Often the entire bundle is sheathed in insulation to conserve coolant heat.

Fluid level sensor/gauge

Hello all. After 40K miles, I'm finally about ready to replace the 55 gal drum with an 80 gal in-bed VO tank.

jnschulman — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:45:29 GMT

Hi everyone, I have a 1985 300d. Plans are to convert to wvo. I have read alot on this forum and on other forums that have confused me greatly. Dana's diagrams are wonderful and I have printed them all for reference. But here's the thing, specific parts, model numbers and wiring diagrams. Such as which model 3 way valves, which electric fuel pump, which FPHE, where to get heated fuel line. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the picture. Obviously I am long on questions and short on knowledge. I watched the "Veg My Ride" video which helped until he got under the hood with the 2 Six port valves and all the confusing loops and odd wiring. Any recommendations for specific parts Dana's parts list would help. I did get Dana's tutorials and I will try to construct as much as possible myself. Thanks.

12v relays

danalinscott — Thur, 13 Aug 2009 12:47:23 GMT

The Famous Bosch Relay

Bottom View:

The most commonly used relay in car audio and security is the Bosch relay. The picture below is the bottom of a Bosch relay. Take note of the markings (85, 86, 87, 87a, & 30) near the terminals.

Internal Workings of Bosch relay:

The following diagram shows what those external terminals are connected to on the inside of the relay. When there is no difference of potential (voltage) across terminals 85 and 86 (the coil), the relay's movable contact (connected to terminal 30) is held, by spring tension, against the electrical contact which is connected to terminal 87a (the normally closed contact). In other words, when no voltage is applied the the relay coil, terminal 87a is connected to terminal 30. When 12 volts is applied to the relay coil (terminals 85 and 86), the movable contact (connected to terminal 30) is pulled down/in by the electromagnet (coil) so that it physically contacts the electrical contact which is connected to terminal 87. Again, in other words, if battery voltage is applied to the relay coil (terminals 85 and 86) terminal 30 will be connected to terminal 87. The red dashed line shows the path in which electrical current flows from/through terminal 30 to the contact of terminal 87a when the relay coil is NOT energized.

Remember that the relay coil has to have a difference of potential between terminals 85 and 86 in order for the coil to pull the armature in/down. This means that you may apply battery voltage to either terminal 85 OR 86 and then ground the OTHER terminal. The positive battery voltage OR the ground connection may be broken to make relay switch terminals (87 to 87a).

This flash demo should help you understand how current flows through the relay as the coil is energized and deenergized. Click HERE to make the demo fill this window.

Technical papers on VO Fuel

danalinscott — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:02:18 GMT

Much of the research on VO fuel is not available to the general public.
Most is difficult to even find unless you are a member of a group that has access to an indexed archive of technical papers. Subscriptions to these groups can cost several hundre dollars a year and there is no single group which has an archive that contains all of the pertinent "papers".

If one DOES join such a group one agrees to not dissminate the papers available to the general public. Abrogating this agreement usualy results in termination of the membership and denial of subsequent requests to rejoin.

Therfore I cannot post all of the technical literature at my disposal. If a paper is already available to the public I will ink to it however. And if anyone has access to research papers on VO fuel I request that they post links to them in this discussion. I do not beleive that I can be held liable for any links to information posted elsewhere which I simply link to.

In some cases the summarys of research papers are available to the public but the full text is copyrighted. If you are interested in the full text to any research paper for which only a summarry is provided please contact me via email and I will attempt to legally provide you with that.

In some cases a link to a paper will become dead due to a liability issue being brought to the attention of hte sponsoring website. If you discover any "dead links" in this discussion please contact me by email and I will attempt to find a currently live link to the material.

I will begin by simply linking to all the currently publically available information from other web sites. As time allows I will index them.
