Mike did yours no longer start after dieing when you switched to wvo. mine did and now i cant get it started. and couldnt get it started while engine was still hot from running. What do i do?
here is my story.
ive just installed a 2 tank wvo
system in my 81 300d. it was running off both tanks with diesel in
both the tanks so i know its all hooked up and will run off both
tanks. I started adding veggie to the 2nd tank that had some diesel in
it. so it maybe has a mix of 20% diesel 80% wvo. i was testing my
system out. warmed up the car and flipped it over to the 2nd tank
shortly later it lossed some power and i went back to the diesel tank
and it gained its power back. i tried it again later while cruising in
a parking lot and it lost power and i couldnt switch back to diesel in
time and it shut down. I could not restart the car off of the diesel tank. i vaccum pumped out the fuel in the line from the selector valve to the IP. Then i re primed the line with diesel and could hear it squirting into the IP.
still wouldnt start.
trying to figure out what the problem is, or how to just get it running off of my diesel tank.
I saw BHANSONS post i think may try that, check my lines. i have one question though as how to check for blocked lines. do i disconnect the return line and try to start the car and see if anything comes out?
TonyFrom... thinks i have air in my veggie side, this may be very true. but i was able to get it up and running on diesel before if konked out. so its on my diesel line and that side seems fine. would that effect me being able to restart my car
