Hi guys, Been thinking of converting the company VW Caddy Vans (3x 1.9 SDi, 1x 1.9 TDi) to run a two tank SVO system (most likely the DieselTherm one - http://www.diesel-therm.com/veggie-kit.htm). I've been reading about what engines are suited / not suited, and I see that VW are among the leaders in Diesel technology, which is comforting, but the idea of pumping in heated (virgin) cooking oil into the engine still scares me....all those stories of gumming up etc. My question is this; does the TDi theory apply to SDi engines? I'm a computer nerd, so won't be able to tell the difference (except for the badge of course!). Has anyone here run an SDi caddy van on SVO before? Also, been reading that you can add 5-10% white spirit to the oil and use it directly without modification to the engine...seems a little 'too easy' for me to believe.....anyone got any experience / views on this? We probably won't use WVO, we will source virgin oil from a local supplier. What oil type is best to use? Rapeseed, coconut etc???
Thanks for the input guys, Kind Regards Nick Taylor, Technical Consultant.
