Episode 4: The Engine is the Final Heat Exchanger

Please visit our website at http://www.goldenfuelsystems.com

In this episode Golden Fuel Systems demonstrates how a diesel engine is actually the final heat exchanger in the entire process of heating vegetable oil to use as fuel.

Golden Fuel Systems is the World Leader in converting diesels to run on 100% new or used vegetable oil.

yea this is all correct but if you heat it up it gets thinner and makes it easier to pump through the unheated pre filters like my filters in my mercedes before the injection pump but you dont have to heat it past that point because the engine components are heated up your also supposed to start the engine on diesel or bio diesel first to bring it to operating temp before you burn the veggie oil

[GoldenFuelSystems]

@halopersin That was exactly our point, the exact temperature the fuel needs to be at isn't necessarily the end goal. As long as the engine is warm enough that you have unrestricted flow, that is what a good SVO system should do.

I cant believe that anyone would be so dumb as to think the oil had to have an outside heat source before hitting the injector. On a cold engine you could heat the oil to 300 degrees but by the time it hit that cold injecter with a cold head heatsinking it all it would still end up cold. Same goes for the the hot engine in heating the oil up as it goes through the injector. As long as your oil is warm enough to flow from the tank to the injector it will be fine. Now Stanadyne pumps may object.

Thanks for watching!

right on! Hopefully more people watch this than those mythbuster idiots who declare "there is absolutely nothing wrong with just throwing filtered vegetable oil in your fuel tank" before we have pick and pulls full of clogged diesels!

[GoldenFuelSystems]

Hey, thanks for watching our videos! Under the right conditions you can put in filtered veggie, but in cold climates it's not going to work.

We use a heat exchanger with a heated fuel pickup. Check out our website and the FAQ section or give us a call if you have anymore questions :)

[GoldenFuelSystems]

We use our exclusive 3B hose which has two coolant lines that circulate coolant which has been heated by the waste heat from your engine. As the heated coolant circulates through the coolant lines which are wrapped with the fuel line and through the heat exchanger in our veggie tank, all of the veggie oil is heated up throughout it's path from tank to engine. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us or visit our website :)

how do you keep heat in the gas tank so in the winter it dosen't freeze

[GoldenFuelSystems]

Yes, we've converted thousands of diesel vehicles to run on vegetable oil. Check out our website or give us a call and we'd love to answer any other questions you might have!

Thanks!
