Do not do that without heating the sunflower-oil before using it. If the sunflower-oil is not hot, you will clog your fuel filter in no time. This is why you must install a heated fuel tank fuel line. But no modification to the engine itself is needed. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], H.F.C. Buma

No. You should not do that. Not that way at least. Read my post prior to the one from that came in all in capital letters, and in which whoever sent it gave information which is inaccurate and confuses the proper use of straight vegetable oil (which needs a two tank HEATING approach ) and the use

Ken, I apologize for the confusion. I'm converting my vehicle to use SVO (straight vegetable oil) or WVO (waste veggie oil) and would simply pour the WVO through the Baja Filter instead of straight into the fuel tank. But it could also be used, I guess, in biodiesel production, but only for

Ken, My SVO/WVO conversion will have several fuel filters plumbed into the system - upstream from the heated SVO/WVO tank I'll have a relatively coarse pre-filter, followed by a finer fuel filter/water separator, and the dino-diesel tank will have another filter. What I'm proposing the Baja

Hey Dana, Thanks for trying to help. I guess I didn't realize till later the way the question was worded. I was playing around with electrolosis and water and was just curious of a similar way to do that with CO2. I wasn't thinking of anything specific. Just to know if it would be usefull.
