Farmer Converts Diesel Truck to Run on Waste Vegetable Oil 

i alsp have a pajero 2.3 td 4d55 with precomp chambers in greece ,do you believe it would work???

@@user-ey7uf4mo1r it depends on your diesel fuel pump the older mechanical pumps on the 4m40t run ok but you will have to check with a reliable 4d55 engine tech to make sure. Some pumps cannot contend with a non diesel feed.

@@radionutio81ij79 thanks a lot!!!! , 4d56 is older mechanic so i believe it wont have problem

@exploring perspectives It saves money in the EU a gallon of diesel is 7.30 US dollars, supermarket oil is half that

Dont listen to this guy commenting all a conversion means is adding in-line fuel heaters and filters..in colder climates an add. tank is necessary for starting. without these add ons if you put used veggie oil in your tank your car WILL BREAK DOWN. This is a hard thing to do if your just looking for an easy way to save money it will cost you eventually.

+Trevor Marty Cool! I hope this video was helpful :)

+John Norris Thanks for watching John! We're really happy we got to talk to hime about the veggie oil conversion. It was always a bit of a mystery to us but he made it sound so simple!! Makes it a really attractive alternative fuel option for sure :)

VW break down a lot. Get a Toyota or Ford truck

@@server1ok you said Ford ??😳

@@bernardinjean-loup1168 Yes, the Ford Trucks that are made in the US, preferably non turbo

😂😂 the environment

Thanks so much!! Im happy to hear you're enjoying our videos :) :)

+Terry Skeans Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed it! It's in BC, Canada, pretty amazing place for sure!!

I know, I want two. :)

Jenna Krabacher did he?

+Jessamy Goddard thanks for watching! You might be surprised by how many restaurants would give you free oil - I seem to remember eating a lot of deep fried chips when I was in the UK back in 2006 haha ;)

+JamieWadd91 Restaurants usually have to pay to get rid of the oil in a responsible manner, so giving it away for free saves them money and makes them feel good. Win-win in my book.

+JamieWadd91 Cool, you're lucky you found a van with a veggie oil conversion already done!! I wish we had that set up too. Best of luck figuring out how to make it all work and thanks for watching :)

+Mel Castle Good eye!! That's where it is :)

+Michael Monk thanks for sharing this information with everyone so they know that some engines/models are more adaptable to veggie oil than others! I think it's very important to filter the oil before pumping it into the engine, and also to ensure that the diesel is switched on for the first and last couple of minutes driving.

+Tommy TwoGun I didn't know this, thanks for bringing it up and sharing with us!! I'm sure it'll help people who are thinking of doing the conversion :)

+Wooly Mammoth Bus Conversion we're not sure but it might be something like this: www.ebay.com/itm/New-Waste-Oil-Bulk-Oil-Vegetable-Oil-Transfer-Pump-Biodiesel-Mineral-Oil-WVO-SVO-/141769553321?hash=item21021fb5a9 Good luck with your bus conversion :)

+Pople BackyardFarm thank you so much!!!

I've read that veggie oil has less calorific value than diesel so mileage isn't as good however it's free and better for the environment so ticks all of the boxes!

From what I've read, you have to filter your Veggie oil meticulously before you put it into your tank. If there's any food particles, water, soap, or fats, then you'll eventually break your engine's fuel injectors.

I been driving diesel autos since 1977! Right now I drive a 1982 MB 300 SD turbo diesel! The problem is the mechanical fuel injectors need the lubrication from the fuel, veggie oil does not do it! Now with the modern common rail injection systems on the newer cars and trucks no way! New injectors are not cheap, then you have other issues! The Idea that its well free, it's really not, unless you consider your time and effort worthless! I do not! I while ago I was looking a 300 D MB from Southern California, the car was in damn near showroom shape, and less that 80K on it , a 1981 car, converted to veggie oil, I told him that I would buy the car, for 1/3 the asking price, because I would have to replace all the injectors, fuel lines, and the injector pump will have to be taking out, no small job and gone thru and rebuilt! This pumps on MB are as bulletproof as you can get, then run a lot of diesel purge thru it, remove the tank and clean it out! I shake my head every time I see this sort of stuff! The 617 engine is a very good engine, but its designed to run on diesel fuel, not just crap that you can get it to burn, it will do it with a lot of work and headaches! That guy is not saving a dime on his fuel costs, it just goes to other places, mile for mile it's cost him more!

your wrong the only way to go through an ip or injectors are 1. inadequate filtering (particles arnt good... doesnt take a genious) 2. inadequate per-heating (160 deg. f flows oil similarly to diesel oil is much thicker) 3. if your oil doesnt lubricate the pump (a can of diesel kleen will solve that) long story short the ones who do it right dont experience problems but thoes who dont give it a bad name P.S 160 degrees F. means the oil is that hot in the injecton pump/injector lines/fuel line coming in the injection pump id insulate the lines for the last one

+Denis Maillet Me too!

bio gas generators are easy...methane is combustible.

he switches over to wvo so the car starts on diesel and runs till it gets warm enough to switch to wvo. the car will idle fine when it is warm

Why not just blend some diesel with the WVO? Start by adding 20 percent diesel into your spare tank.

someone said adding diesel would help keep the wvo so you wont need to heat it up, idk i think they said 15-20% but if you run striagt on wvo its a great thing...no diesel needed right?

it's to flush all the fuel lines and the engine itself, you don't want the water and wvo in your engine overnight

just mix 20% gasoline in the oil and no mod needed... diesel mix tend to gel at low temps.

+Timmy Sweets we met Jade in Kelowna, BC but he might not be there anymore because he's quite nomadic. We don't have his contact info, sorry!

+Timmy Sweets PS have a great trip in BC! If you don't find Jade, I'm sure you'll meet tons of other neat people

Not true it produces emissions just not carbon

Illegal? Why?

RV regulations vary wildely from states to states, province to province... In Vancouver he could do this while in Qc and Ontario it's MUCH MUCH harder (more regulations to follow...)

+simonlynchsae They won't give a single fuck neither in Quebec. In Ontario, if you don't show up at the e-tests running that, you'll be fine.

What I'm saying is: you can't convert a bus to an RV as easily as this. I've looked into it. It's considered an artisanal car and nedds a ton of regulation plus SAAQ inspection. My point is, he's lucky BC is so chill about it (or he got it licenced before the hammer came down on regulations...). Once it's converted, you're golden. You could take an old RV and do that and no one would know... because logic... -_-

Just never mention it to the SAAQ, and even if you mention they will just oh congrats!
