Re: [Biofuel] nissan diesel
The 'maxima' in Australia is only a petrol engined sedan. Sorry can't help you there. The Patrol is a 4wd ( SUV). Whilst the names change, the engines in alot of nissans are the same across the fleet. See if you can find a model number on the motor, it's either on the top front of the rocker cover or on the engineblock with the engine number. It should read something like SD 33 ##.

--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Christopher Witmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Darren, I am not familiar with the model name; however, here in Japan I have a 1989 Nissan Caravan Homy van with the LD20T-II engine. As far as I can tell, this particular van was never exported to the USA (the USA model at that time corresponded to what is here in Japan called the Nissan Vanette.) Recently on ebay I saw a German-language Nissan catalog from the late 1980s depicting a van very similar to mine so I expect virtually the same model may have been exported to Europe. (Japan and the U.K. both drive on the same side of the road and the climate and land area are similar enough that perhaps there is little difference in Japanese versions and U.K. versions of many cars.) In any case, my 1989 Nissan diesel engine has a displacement of 1952cc and is nominally 2 litres so I suppose yours may be nominally a 2.4 litre engine. The Nissan Van sold in the USA around this time had a petrol engine and it was nominally 2.4 litres, the Z24i. If you can give me more information about your vehicle I can try to see if there is anything that corresponded to it in Japan. By the way, in very limited testing my vehicle digested straight vegetable oil without any hesitation. My test was crude indeed: I had to travel several hundred km by car so I started the engine on a nearly empty tank of diesel, dumped in 18 litres of brand new canola oil, drove until the tank was nearly empty again, filled the tank with diesel, and let it run for about 20 minutes to flush the system and cool down somewhat before shutoff. I did this during the hottest summer weather (just recently). Since that went so well I plan to install a proper SVO conversion kit sometime soon.

Anybody out there able to give me any info? Especially combustion chamber / injector pump design or specifications Any info on this vehicle at all would be helpful. The usual web trawl was fairly unproductive Luckily the wife of a friend of my father works in a Nissan garage and got me a copy of the indicator circuit diagram that made it possible for me to fix a problem, but it was hard work for her to get (unhelpful work colleges) so I'll have to keep her as a last resort for future problems. I hope to shortly start fuelling with a vegetable oil based fuel. Anybody got any experiences? Darren www.vegburner.co.uk --- End forwarded message ---
