I recently finished adding an extra tank to my 83 1.6 diesel so it runs on veggie oil and I must say, she likes it a lot. Two things I have noticed since the conversion that I would like to run past the group. Converting basically involves putting a separate tank in and running the veg (heated and filtered) and the diesel into a 6 way solenoid so that you can switch back and forth between the two. Start up on diesel until she�s warm, switch over, and then switch back at the end of the day to diesel for a few minutes to flush the system before stopping. Since the conversion I�ve noticed that after running starting up on diesel is touhg. Takes quite a few more turn overs and idles rough for the first few seconds and then fine. I think there may be a small air leak somewhere and this is as a result of needing to get the diesel to the engine. Any other thoughts? Secondly, when I start up on disel I know get a big ole batch of blue smoke I never got before. Your thoughts? dave
