Hey all- figured I put some new info out. For those who are interested in making Bio- I came across a new site that give awesome instructions. It's called
Oklahoma based biodiesel production resource.. Great place to start. The 80/20 process they show may be a little different then normal method- but from talking with those guys- great method for bad WVO to help you pass the 27/3 test. As far as my update- still going strong with bio- Making larger batches and truck has had only 1 problem. The aftermarket fuel pressure alarm started to leak into the electical connector. All I got was a low fuel pressure light- changed the filter - still had the light. I found my aftermarket lift pump had broken free from the mount and I figured in my rush to fix it- that it shorted out against the block. Sooo- I replaced my aftermarket lift pump. Well- the light stayed on- but in my new found frustration- as I'm under the hood with the engine running- I see fuel leaking out of the connector on my alarm pressure sensor. Luckily - I don't know why- but the guy I bought the pump from (Pensacola Diesel) included the same sensor and alarm I already had installed- with the pump. So bottom line- I'm an idiot- sensor failed- and have a new pump in my truck and a perfectly good on on my shelf in the garage. I know I should have just tested the pressure- but at least it all worked out in the end.
