I'm posting here & couple other sites....
If you'all laugh at me, be gentle....OK??hahaFrom what I've been able to figure out these injection pumps & injectors/nozzles on these D6 9U 318 engines are somewhat forgiving as to fuel....mostly as long as it's clean.
Anyone tell me what pressure they pop at? Somewhere I got the idea that it's somewhere down around 1100-1200-1300PSI???? Reason I ask is I been trying to figure out how to maybe run this thing on WVO (waste veg. oil). I currently am running couple my 7.3 trucks on straight WVO for over 4yr with no problems. No problems after I got heated fuel tank, fuel lines & filters. And I run diesel in one tank, WVO in other.
I start & run on diesel till hot & kill them on diesel after 2-3 miles. Biggest problem I see is trying to get the WVO as hot as possible before the lift pump. I been looking and am trying to figure out where & how to tap into coolant for good flow to circulate hot coolant thru hoses & a heat exchanger etc to warm fuel tank, lines, filters, & fuel (WVO) before the lift pump. I want to look closer, but am hoping that I can tap in somewhere around the thermostats & out, then back into the drainplug on side of block. Or other way round.
Wherever coolant source is got from it needs to be as hot as possible.
If my gauge has been correct in past, I've never seen it over 140deg F, but am gonna ck it. I already got it figured out where & how to easily mount another 35 gal tank for WVO on this D6. If I figure out how to heat the oil some other way (electrical maybe) on this other R945B Liebherr Ex with this aircooled Dietz engine, I'll run WVO in it too! Anyway, any tips, ideas, or whatever will be greatly appreciated. Any tip on where to tap in for coolant source & circulation?
Or even any thoughts if you'all think I'm stupid & headed for trouble....I'm listening.
Thanks
James
