That was a petty informative site, especially since I am about to make my own 2 take SVO system. I was disapointed that they didn't go into detail why a rotory pump doesn't hold up as well as a piston pump, but they did mention some things that I found interesting.

- Using VO in an IDI is much safter than a DI since the presures are lower, and atomiztion is not so much a problem.

- Copper pipe in a VO system is bad because it catalyzes the fuel towards the bad side.

- VO has to be heated up to 170*C to be of a similar viscosity to diesel.

If you are considering doing a conversion, its a pretty good read.They are trying to sell a single tank conversion, so they want you to go with the single tank system; I am going with the two tank system, so I am more biased towards it. I like the two tank idea personally since I bought the car to take "long trips."

Whats everyone elses thoughts?
