I am designing a system to run a 2004 Duramax on SVO and am concerned that running heated fueol through the FICM will not allow cooling - any opinions???

ChrisWhat on earth, is SVO?

Melvin:confused:

Straignt Vegetable Oil

Install your Heat component after the FICM in the fuel line

Interesting...

Why on earth would you want to run Grease though a new truck:eek: Try a tank of biodiesel first, then get the fuel tested. I've noticed that stuff is dirrrty.


#2 dino for me:ro)

Anyone know where I can find a fuel system diagram?

Why do it? Because it is there.

Chris,
Give that tree a hug for me, and let us know how it works when you're done...
:ro)

No tree hugging here, the bark gives me a rash. I believe the clients motivation is not giving his money to other countries for thier oil.

How hot you going to have it? My lb7 runs over 100* in the summer easy. The duramax does have a fuel cooler so I am assuming thats for a reason. I've kinda gota a 1/2 assed idea for running diesel through the deal for cooling and bypassing the ficm all together. Fairly complex though.

Edit: My idea no worky since it will get passed back to the tank via the factory return

Tell him to buy a reactor and brew his own biodiesel and run a blend in the winter. superdiesel does a bunch of messing with french fry fuel

Tank, filter, ficm, motor, part returned back to tank(this will be another prob for ya)

...and bypassing the ficm all together...How would you propose to keep the smoke inside the FICM with no cooling?
Ed

With plugs of course. :p ):h





:o I explained myself bad, basicly involved running lift pump with a bypass reg and having the return side of the bypass reg feeding the ficm and that line back to the tank. That way you are bypassing running the veggy oil through the electronics, even when switched over to the veggy the lift pump would be running and bypassing through the brain cooling it. That way also you are just running a line back to the tank as apposed to alot of replumbing. make your veggy injection point after the reg and you wouldnt be doing a ton of replumbing. You would also not be running veggy through the factory fuel filter so if you veggy oil had too many chunks of burnt curly fries in it and you clogged your veggy filter or gelled it you wouldnt be dead in the water.

I duno what a veggy oil heater cooks it to? fuel is genneraly over 100*, if its just set to keep it at 80* in the winter from keeping it from turning to goo then he is golden in that respect.......but the return, thats going to get messy.

Your stock set up is made to pump what isnt used back to the tank, if you are running veggy oil it will start puking that back to the tank.

That make sense and am I correct in my thinking?

Edit: maybe that makes sense now?

Leme think a bit.......I'm trying to make this too complicated again and am missing some easy solution here:o :confused:

FICM, then filter actually...
