[biofuel] Re: Engine life and cold starting
Teoman, Check out an Accusump, http://www.accusump.com/ I think 12v electric preoiler pumps are made too. They all seem to be expensive though, I think a person could fabricate an accumulator or preoiler for not too much if they are handy. --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, Teoman Naskali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just changed the oil to my Hyundai Starex 2.5L van and on the oil it said that 75 % engine wear happens while the engine is warming. Would it do any good if the water in the engine was heated with a kettle resistance or some other device? Or is the wear caused more by the the fact that the engine is not well oiled when you start it up? If so then maby one could use the starter motor with low apms to turn it slowly a few times for it to oil itself, and then start. Heating the engine could help SVO users aswell. Maby a kettle resistance in a Piece of PVC pump and a washingmachine pump put in series with the output of the radiator can do this??? But ofcourse you would need a plug in your carpark or whereever. Maby a small diesel stove? Teoman __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo!

[biofuel] Re: inline glow plug for SVO heating?
Another thing to think about is if the glow plug gets hot and carbonizes some veg oil on it, then the carbon sloughs off and heads into your IP. If I were doing it, I would place the glow plug heater so that the vegoil flows through the glow plug heater, then through your filter before it hits the IP. --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, Joshua [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for your input. Since the fuel going through the glow plug will be flowing, and never remaining stationary, we are hoping that it doesn't get too hot to melt the lines. We also have a temperature sensor installed similarly in the fuel line (with a brass T and rubber hose nipples) about six inches past the glow plug T to monitor the temperature of the fuel. We are, howerver, considering putting the glow plug and sensor actually in the metal fuel line just after the last fuel filter, just before it goes into the injection pump to make sure that our reading is as accurate as possible. However, this is a rather more difficult place to mount it, as those are fitted metal lines, and flared fittings and all that jazz. So where it is now is much easier, and it is the last place the fuel goes before it is entirely in metal lines. Rubber lines are rather easier to work with. Does anyone have any notion of the optimum temperature for vegetable oil to reach where it's viscosity is exactly that of diesel fuel? We have blown one injection pump running on SVO and since been mixing it with about 20% diesel to avoid that, cause the injection pump costs $500. As for the dimmer switch, it is not a household one, but an automotive 12v one with three settings, and we have that run after the lighted switch, so both have to be on for power to reach the glow plug. Anyway, we also discovered today that our head is cracked, so we'll be fiddling a while longer while getting a replacement, so please, suggestions, criticism, whatever ya all got! ;) Love and Light!

[biofuel] Re: First time collecting used oil and have questions.
If you are looking for a pump you can run on a drill, I have successfully used a Ford 351W oil pump with a cordless drill. The hex shaft of the oil pump chucks right up in the drill. My 12V NiCD battery lasted about 20 gallons. I also wired in connectors to the cordless battery so I can hook it to my truck battery, and pump many more gallons. --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fwd from the [Biodiesel] list. Does anyone use one of these nifty drill pumps? Connect it to an electric drill (wonder if a cordless drill would be strong enough) and this might making collecting oil from their bucket to my bucket easier. Is only $15 plus a $3 coupler. Looks like a nice idea. http://www2.northerntool.com/product/11948/ Let me know if you have used something like this and if so, did you use a cordless drill and did it work OK. tj Yahoo!
