Trust me im not against wvo conversions but i do know what can go wrong with single tank "conversions"

Here is an example of a coked injector. I pulled 5 of them from my ex-300SD when i was experimenting with wvo/diesel/rug mixes.


Bottom line. Get a 2-tank kit.

There are many affordable 2-tank kits. IMO greasecar with a vegtherm added is about the best option in terms of efficiency and price.
There is a lot more to this story, search and read if you are interested. The picture of the injector that I saw in this thread looks better than most I have seen pulled out of these cars even if they had only run diesel fuel and no veg oil.
