RE: [biofuel] SVO/WVO conversion - VEG-Therm-

just an idea: i was thinking on a vegoil two tanks conversion using the exhaust to heat vegoil. if we put the vegoil tank on the rear part of the car and it goes to the engine on a copper pipe paralel to the exhaust pipe, close enough to be heated and far enough to not to reach too hight temp

also, at what percentage should one mix the ethanol and how stable is the mix? anton It depends on the engine type (DI or IDI) and the fuel (type of vegoil) to some extent, but in general DI engines, it seems, really should have higher temps, or thinner fuel blends than is required for IDI engin

To rephrase the question to get my own specific answer: would it be possible to get or make a self regulating electric heater that could raise the temperature of the incoming oil from a coolant heated 70C to the "optimum" 140C? or maybe only the diff between 25C (ambient) and 70C= 45C (temp rise

Thanks Ed, I was hoping you would join in as I consider you our resident SVO expert. I am forming the opinion from the studies I have seen that an optimum system (for maximum engine life) would warm the SVO to 170*C but coolant in engines only gets up to about 170*F. At 170*F SVO is approx. the
