Sorry for the cross-posting. Can anyone explain how Elsbett's one-tank system gets around the injector coking (and possible ring land coking) problems that will, most claim, surely occur without the dinodiesel or biodiesel flushing at shutdown that can (obviously) only happen with a two-tank system?
What I understand of the Elsbett system is that they have you take your injectors to a diesel injection shop and get the pressure cranked up by 5 bars or so, plus have the shop install the injector sleeves Elbettt provides - both of which change the spray pattern and atomization. They also provide you with industrial-stength glowplugs that are hotter and possibly stay on longer (they supply an "accumulator + contact" (?) that you install in series with the stock glowplug relay) and they say that this glowplug modification heats the pre-injection chamber (and they're obviously talking about indirect-injection engines here) to allow initial startup on vegetable oil. They provide a coolant-heated fuel heater of some kind, and an electrically-heated fuel filter, and provide a shut-off valve to allow the use of a separate backup filter (perhaps the stock one) in case of primary filter clogging - I assume what they're saying is you can return the vehicle to it's stock tank to filter to liftpump to injection pump configuration - a good thing for sure. It all sounds fine (except for the extreme cold weather problems inherent in a system without any form of in-tank heating - and they recommend a 20% dinodiesel / 80% SVO blend in winter) except for the not-flushing aspect, in my opinion. But - they have a good reputation - what little we hear about them in the US is good anyway - and I'd love to think a single-tank system could work. (They do specify new SVO, but I'd be willing to try some good WVO that was water free and well prefiltered) Anyone have any experience and/or opinion on the lack of a 2nd tank issue?
