I sold this car about 6 months later. But I continue to run WVO in my F-250 and have about 50K miles on WVO now. No problems to report. My filter on my truck system seperates any water. But yeah 230+K miles on the PSD 50 of which are WVO and it runs great.

Did you have any conversion under the hood to run the grease straight from the main tank?

At that point in time it was summer and no I did not. I did put one on a few months later. Here in NC you could probably get by all year with just a bit of mixing in the winter months and if kept in a garage and a block heater. Not my favorite though as if you have a filter problem there is no way to byspass.

My Favorite is Mexican. They usually only fry tortillias and it is spot on. I use a fish fry place right now as they go through a lot to keep up with my demand. Mexican produceses very little. Never had luck with Chinese. They always seem to mix lard with theirs.

First off...that is bad ass! Second...what type of vertical filter do you use?

[addicted56]

The canister is from an old aviation filter I got from a friend. It has a standard Poly sock filter inside that fits perfectly around the top. As long as the oil is decent it will filter a few hundred gallons before needing replaced or cleaned. I hate cleaning them but ran out so that is now what I do instead of buying more.

@halohadel quit talking shit asshat. my dad has been running corn oil in his diesel for the last 5 years. i have been doing it since i was 16 (im almost 20 now) and my brother does the same. we dont go crazy with filters like every 1 else does. we just use a paint filter, and put it in our tanks. usually its 50% diesel 50% cornoil but alot of times its 100% corn oil. please dont put wrong information out on the internet. people really depend on these videos

I just emptied another 200 gallons out of the back of my F250 today. I have now 800 gallons in the back yard. There is nothing more exciting then flipping the switch. I am burning it in an F350 1991 Ford 7.3 liter diesel. I also have a 1992 that I will set up. I designed the my own system, with a 225 gallon tank in the bed of the duelly. Good enough for about a 2600 mile round trip with no refueling!

Sweet video, but the song about ass sucks ass.

hey, can u send me a message with info on how to do this and how much it would cost to get it started, and i read a comment about putting a tank in the bad for long trips, im looking to get my first car and im wanting to get a truck and idk if i wanna get a small truck tht runs on gas or if it would be cheaper to do this with an old diesel truck, if u could give me some advice i would really appreciate it

[imack606]

so do you just use that Fill-Rite pump to push the WVO through the vert filter then just swap hoses to pump it into the car? what kind of microns is that vert filter?

@europe0wnz Finally!!! some one who knows !!!!! Cheers!!!!

[bikerfox1]

What are you doing about the suspended water? Pitting of cylinder walls from the water?

How is the car running after 5years??

[repodevil]

Nice bet it smells good too

[halohadel]

have fun when your get to replace your fuel system in another year. You cannot run wvo in a diesel without consequences.
