I've been admiring this forum for quite some time; meanwhile my 83' turbo diesel power ram was in the shop to get refitted for a new 86' block: quite a job. Now it's running sweet and tight, in total: new clutch, new tranny and the block.
So I do have a veggie conversion installed but right now the piston rings are seating so it's all diesel. Surely there's some veggie riders here so on I'm coming, after the break in period. I'm breaking in on this truck too, for diesel driving.
On I did come for this avatar, it's a scene shot of yours truly portraying a supporting role in the movie Tucker, that was 20 years ago. I learned to drive from Buddy Joe Hooker who's the best stunt driver in the business during that movie. I really like the Mitsu turbo engine, took a trip to the Mojave desert in an 82' Starion (a gas turbo that was later declared illegal on the street). So I'll say thanks in advance for all that surely I can learn here.

Re:Howdy Howdy Howdy: real cowboys run on veggie! Date Posted:21/03/2008 06:58:19Copy HTML Hey JFB, yes I've got the '83 Ram 50 TD with a custom head and 2 tank veggie conversion. Right now I'm working out the details of mixing biodiesel with veggie as my main tank fuel. The difficulties are the difference in temperature of the veggie oil (VO) contrasted with the biodiesel which contains VO but burns at the temp of diesel.
I wonder if anyone knows what temp the diesel is when it leaves a heated fuel filter but my guess would be >38 C. |
