Re: [Biofuel] Running Toyota Landcruiser (HDJ80) on WVO?
Did you have to change the gaskets and fuel line?The reason I ask, it that I have a '85 BJ60.

It'll be fine on good BD unless you have any rubber in the fuel lines. Zeke Yewdall wrote: Are you thinking of running it on biodiesel made from WVO, or on the WVO itself?

Hello Scott, Julian Julian I have been running B100 in my 1986 BJ74 Land Cruiser ( four cylinder turbo diesel ) for two years now and have noticed only positive differences ( less noise, smooth idle, etc ). It actually seems to have more power. I have been buying commercially made biodiesel so the quality is consistently high. I hope so, but it might not be the safest assumption. Previous message: Currently I resell commercial manufactured biodiesel in Atlanta, GA. Over the past 2 years I have seen the quality of this fuel vary greatly... Funny thing about the commercially manufactured biodiesel... One of the big arguments against backyard biodiesel (from industry folks) is quality, yet every batch that I have made, and every batch I have seen by a homebrew biodiesel maker has been much better than the fuel I am reselling. Individuals with small scale setups seem to really care, take their time, and craft their fuel...after all..most are using it in their own cars, not selling to the boiler fuel market. -- Rob Del Bueno, Vegenergy, Biofuel list 28 Dec 2004 See: Quality http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_vehicle.html#qual1 Best wishes Keith Scott - Original Message - From: Julian Voelcker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 1:00 AM Subject: [Biofuel] Running Toyota Landcruiser (HDJ80) on WVO?

Keith and All Thanks for the word of caution when assuming that commercial biodiesel is all high quality. I am now gathering the material for my first biodiesel processor and will share my results with the group.
