Subject:      WVO Conversion for an '82 Diesel Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hey volks,

Stock Nazis can GA and hit Delete. I'm considering WVO (for long term fuel cost reduction) and later a TD or TDI conversion (for power increases). Any thoughts?

I like the idea of using the factory tank for WVO and the potable water tank for the bio/petro for startups. The big ? is how to find a replacment water tank that'll both fit under the sink and include a lower hose nipple just like the factory tank. GoWesty seems to have a sink drain kit that Any thoughts?

My rationale on potable water: Can't understand why someone would design the tank so far from the sink. Don't use enough pwater to justify 13g. Don't need much bio/petro storage and the pwater tank is in just the right spot!

Open to constructive criticism.
