Subject:WVO Conversion for an '82 Diesel Westy
From:Neil2
Date:Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:25:07 -0700

Hey volks,

Stock Nazis can GA and hit Delete.  I'm considering WVO (for long term fuel
cost reduction) and later a TD or TDI conversion (for power increases).  Any
thoughts?

I like the idea of using the factory tank for WVO and the potable water tank
for the bio/petro for startups.  The big ? is how to find a replacment water
tank that'll both fit under the sink and include a lower hose nipple just
like the factory tank.  GoWesty seems to have a sink drain kit that  Any
thoughts?

My rationale on potable water:  Can't understand why someone would design
the tank so far from the sink.  Don't use enough pwater to justify 13g.
Don't need much bio/petro storage and the pwater tank is in just the right
spot!

Open to constructive criticism.
