My understanding is that the precumbustion chamber aids in mixing the SVO and air and aids in more complete combustion. I recall hearing of problems with SVO droplets spraying onto the cylinder walls and therefore not being burned and in some cases seeping past the rings and ending up diluting the crankcase oil in direct inj. diesels. This may be due to a higher viscosity of the SVO and might be countered by having your injectors adjusted for the higher viscosity of SVO. Of course if SVO is heated by the time it hits the injectors I cant understand why this would be the case. This could be a miscommunication between the two SVO communities...one which advocates no preheating of SVO and even mixing with diesel fuel (who obviously live in a very temperate climate) and one which preheats SVO and starts and stops on diesel. I have no choice since I live in Minnesota and for 4 months of the year have to deal with SVO as a solid...I must not only preheat for the inj. I have to heat my SVO tank as well. It seems though that by purging with diesel each start /stop cycle you also avoid the problem of accumulation of Acreolien(sp?) on your injectors. There are other forums that are devoted to SVO that you may wish to research this on.
Does anyone lurking have any experience with an SVO direct injection engine? Dana Linscott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
