x-charset ISO-8859-1I converted my 83' 300 SD to run on Veggie oil, but it's
not working. Anyone
have experience on a similar car and have suggestions?
I tapped in to the heater core loop to heat the oil in a tank in the trunk.
The oil
in the back is fairly hot after 15 minutes--not the issue. I wrapped the two
5/8
heating lines with the 1/4 fuel line until they go their separate ways in the
engine compartment. The fuel is drawn to the engine compartment through
an inline filter and then into a fuel soleniod. The regular dino input is the
default when the solenoid is not activated and runs no differently than before.
I was able to suck the oil from the tank of cold oil with little trouble until
it totally
filled the inline filter and I dared not to suck one more time before I hooked
it
to the soleniod.
When I activated the solenoid after it has been running for plenty of time (30
min.) the car immediately lost power seemingly unaffected by the pedal until it
almost died about 5 seconds later, but as soon as I switched off the soleniod
it
started right back up. I tried on and off about a dozen times to no advail.
There is no lift pump on this model, but is there some sort of vacum line that
assists or is the few inch that I may not have sucked oil through the solenoid
too much air? I'm thinking I 'll get an inline heater also just too be sure it
is hot
oil before it goes into the injectors. Any suggestions?
