Basically I use the transfer system to pump the WVO out of the jugs and into holding tanks (not shown). When it is time to make a patch, I used the transfer system to pump the WVO from the holding tank to the mixing system. Then I use the transfer system to pump the HHO from its holding tank and into the mixing system which is now pumping and mixing the fuels. Then I add the RUG to the mix and the fuel additive. Then the mix is pumped from the mixing station through a filter and into the delivery system. Then when needed, the delivery system pumps the WVO (already filtered once) through two more filters and into the vehicle. Hope this sheds some light on the set-up!
Wow thats pretty cool! How much do you think the system runs you? Do you use grease oils from fast food restaurants?
Also. Did you run this in the 6.5's and your Duramax? Any problems?

I have somewhere around $400.00 invested in the system, plus my time. I go through three filters ($12.00) every 250 to 300 gal.. I figure that into the cost of making the fuel mix, along with the cost of the HHO and RUG and fuel Additive, ($1.06 to $1.20 gal.). You don't count your time. I know it's not totally free, but a he$$ of alot better then $4.50 gal..
Yes I use WVO from restaurants, but you have to watch. Some of the WVO is not fit to use and you need to learn which ones are the best. WVO that doesn't set up very much in cold weather is the best and usually the clearest. I have narrowed it down to just one place for myself. I use more than I get per week in the summer, but I get more than I use during the winter months, thus, the storage tanks. Not only that, but then it doesn't sit around alot!
Yes, I ran it in the 6.5 turbo. Actually I had three of them and they all ran the fuel with no problems. I had to replace the glow plugs on one of them because of hard starting. Turns out 4 of the plugs were dead! I will say the 6.5 started alittle harder in cold weather than the Dmax, but not a problem.
Patches, have you considered using a centrifuge instead of paper filter? I am looking at doing WVO. I have a friend doing it and he switched to a oc-20 centrifuge from vegpower.com. He said he doesn't have to change the filters in his truck as often because it cleans the oil better and he doesn't have to replace the filter on the pre-filter station, just clean out the centrifuge.
No, actually I have not used one, but I am looking into it. Some say that it would help and others say not. Still trying to sort through it all. Thanks for the recomendation!
You are right. I use a 5 micron 10" filter. Problem is, I have been using this system for over 4 years now and have not really had any problems. It costs me about 20 dollars to change all the filters after doing about 250 to 300 gallons.
What system do you use in your truck? I have been looking at the one on plantdrive.com. This is the one my friend has used for about 2yrs and has had no problems.
