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.

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. On the other hand you can
expect a higher fuel consumption.
Good luck to you

[Biofuel] good wvo candidate
Hey, I'm new to the list and I've just recently become
interested in using waste cooking oil to fuel my commute. I am looking
to buy a good diesel truck to convert. So far, I've gathered that an
older dodge is probably the best route. I've also heard that indirect
injection is better than direct injection and older engines are more
durable. Am I on the right path? Please let me know, because I am
chomping at the bit.
