chickenoilman 03-24-2005, 08:25 AM I am considering a new Chevy 3500 with Duramax engine. I am also considering running it on WVO as I have free unlimited access to WVO (I own fast food restuarants). Does anyone have experience with WVO and the new Duramax? Thanks, chickenoilman Scott C 03-24-2005, 10:09 AM What is wvo? Waste vegetable oil? Sorry Im clueless. TEXMudder 03-24-2005, 12:21 PM Yes WVO stands for Waste Vegetable Oil. A few other sites call it running SVO (Straigh Vegitable Oil). It would be taking his fast food oil and turning it into fuel for his truck. cit1991 03-25-2005, 03:53 PM Be careful with straight WVO. It gels and can feed bacteria in your tank. SVO - straight vegetable oil (new oil from some bio source) WVO - waste vagetable oil (used bio oil...hopefully filtered and dried) biodiesel - the fatty acid esters from bio oil...transesterified with methanol...dried and filtered. I'd only run proper biodiesel, and only up to about 20%. Bronco 03-25-2005, 06:02 PM Since you have unlimited access to W.V.O. then you should invest in a small scale biofuel production unit. Considering you are probally paying for the oil to be hauled off, and you are paying for diesel it would be cheaper and greener for you to make your own. If you are close to Northern Colorado I would be interested in building something with you. The hard part is securing the waste vegetable oil, not processing it into biodiesel. 6.6 Flylow 03-25-2005, 09:30 PM GED: Get Er Done! Let us know how it turns out! | ||
