Re: [Biofuel] fuel filter

2005-06-13 Thread Mel Purdy
thanks to both...

i've been looking at various filters online and calling about pricing
and such, and was heading for a racor 660 model with heater.  i, too,
am in the northeast (NW massachusetts to be exact) and the fact that
the racor heaters are thermostatically controlled seems to me to be
worth the extra 60+ dollars it costs.

is it worth it IYO to pay for the heater, or should i just wrap the
filter with a coolant line?

and will the viscosity of the oil create a need for a greater GPH
rating on the filter?  or will 60gph be fine for a 250 horsepower
greasel?

 The racor heated filters seem to be the best.

 Your fuel filter must be have no bypass ability, should be of the same
 micron as the original fuel filter for your vehicle and all of the fuel that
 is used should be pre filtered to a micron smaller than the fuel filter.

[Biofuel] -= question: filter for SVO conversion? =-

2005-06-10 Thread Mel Purdy
Hello-

I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row so I can convert my 95 Chevy
to SVO in the coming month.

What type and micron rating would you all recommend for the filter? 
And where's the best place to purchase it?

I would like something good quality...  something that my truck will like.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

best-
Mel

it's a liquid you add to boiler fuel to make it more efficient and
burn cleaner.  I'm trying to find a more detailed chemical description
of it, but for now, if anybody out there is using it, or uses it on
anything else, it would be nice to start a conversation

  there is using it for vehicle or home-heating use?

Is anyone out there using anti-fungal additives (ie: Kill-um) to
prevent rancid oil for settling and storing WVO?

Also, my friend has been using 'Boiler fuel additive' that he gets for
free in his SVO converted mercedes...  thinks it's useful, says he
notices it running better, but I was wondering if anyone else out
there is using it for vehicle or home-heating use?

Any ideas about the efficacy of these additives?
