Re: [Biofuel] good wvo candidate
Old Dodge is fine - try for at least the second generation Cummins, tho'. Also, there is some talk of a few years where the pump had problems on the Cummins. Otherwise, the Ford 6.9 and 7.3 are good choices I have had mixed luck w/ Ford's automatics, tho' Go for a stick if you can. I don't care for the older Chevy engines at all - the Duramax seems to be ok. -Mike Jan Warnqvist wrote: Hello Mandy, if you are planning to use WVO as SVO, an indirect injection engine is the best choice, because it will perform good longer than the direct injected engine, since the SVO will create polymerization products on the nozzles, and the indirect injected engine is less sensitive to that.

Re: [Biofuel] good wvo candidate
Well yes and no. although the older Cummins 5.9 engine is old school and will handle wvo if the conversion is done right. The engine has limited electronics and thus has fewer problems. The basic engine is the same new or old excepting the injection and added electronics and catalytic converter also the newer 24 valve has much more power than the 12 valve although the mileage is the same all will tell you 18 to 24 mpg. Good luck.
