I'm about to junk [* see note at bottom] a 1989 Nissan van (gasoline engine) with 43,000 miles on it, and in its place I'll be getting a 1989 Nissan van (DIESEL engine) with 27,000 miles on it. Both are automatic transmission vehicles; the former is 4WD and the latter 2WD.
I would like to try running the diesel vehicle on carefully filtered waste vegetable oil and biodiesel, in a two-tank arrangement with either manual or temperature-controlled switching between the fuel systems. HERE IS MY QUESTION: Are there any parts worth scavenging from the outgoing gasoline vehicle, that will be useful in building the dual tank SVO system for the diesel vehicle? Thanks! Christopher Witmer Tokyo [* In Japan a car like this one -- more than ten years old -- has zero market value, despite its low mileage. I will have to pay money to junk it. Unlike the USA, there are few junkyards where people go to get parts, and there is not much of a used parts market. This car will probably be crushed into a metal, glass and rubber brick and stacked somewhere with a bunch of similar cars. The upside of this is that people like me who don't mind old cars can get them for free or for a pittance.] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
