  • About a 400 mile return trip through the BC mountains. Lowest temp was -40C during the trip and the veg system performed perfectly.:) Happy times

      Was very happy with that trip, basically can run anywhere in Canada and the US in winter on veg oil.:)

    So I used to run a veggie oil a little bit had too many problems with the glycerin not fully being removed I switched to black diesel I used an old cream separator to separate the carbon and contaminants I pre-filter down to 50 microns with a bag filter and then run it through the centrifuge I never wanted to screw around with a preheater so I run my oil 10% gas 90% oil have ran it through all of my Cummins and have no problem with it

      Awesome, I would probably have run wmo if it wasn't for a friend of mine giving me 600 gallons of veg oil. I have the system dailed in with no issues, so happy with that.:)

      Thanks for the sub.:) When I ran diesel it got 11-13 towing, 15-16 city and 18-20 hwy. I've been running veg oil now for 40,000 miles and haven't really checked what the mileage is on veg. Similar if not 5-10% less fuel economy, but it's free, so I've never checked.:)

      @@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd In theory in should have worked well, but the Detroit wasn't happy. Without further testing I can't pinpoint the cause. It could have been the compound turbo's, coatings or something else. I've switched to water meth injection combined with burning veg oil and that works great.

    So, I saw on the last video that you converted back to the old injectors. Could it be that the fuel line too small?

    • @detroitgarage9430
      @detroitgarage9430  Před 6 měsíci

      No, it looks like one of the supply line clamps was loose to the primary filter (diesel line). When I went to tighten it, the clamp broke. I replaced the clamp with a new one and none of the issues have come back. Was getting air into the fuel system on the diesel side causing fuel starvation. It also might have caused the one injector to act up, but not sure. I'll post up another video in the coming days going over the problem and trouble shooting the diesel side.:) Runs perfect again with the 7A77's.:)
