Upon futher investigation the leak seems to be comming from the valve cover. After some drips after changing and adding fluids most of the leaks have stopped. Could have been seals reviving after not being used for a while. We've put 600 miles on it now and maybe it just needed to be driven.
I'm going to convert to WVO. I'm going to use two systems independent of each other so I'm going to run a second electric fuel pump. I found a Peugeot diesel tank and it fits between the frame and the doors below the vehicle. It sticks down a couple of inches below the drive shaft but I can weld up a skid plate for it and it should be good. The lines are just as large as the GM lines so it should get good flow. The only trick I want to try is a switch to use the Peugeot sender to go to the GM meter. Not sure it will work. Other than that I want to use 6 & 3 port valves for switching & looping the diesel so I can purge without mixing vegetable oil with diesel in the tank. I'll recirculate the diesel normally when starting or for running for some reason other than warmup. Lawrence Rhodes.....
