A quickie to all you SVO users:
I have been looking to run the truck on SVO / PPO and have come across the Elsbett conversions from Germany. In the kit with all the pipes, heater etc, they also supply new injectors more suitable for SVO (so they say) and injector spacers as well as different heater plugs.
This is for a single tank system.
My question is this: Is this all an expensive waste of time to justify their existence or is a simple electric/water fuel heater all that is needed with a bit of diesel in the tank for when it's cold?
I don't understand how you can mod the injectors for PPO and it can still run nicely on Diesel (which they say it can).
Reason for doing this is my local Bio supplier has put price up to £1.06 today - robbery if you ask me given that you take your chances with the quality of any manufactured Bio. I have been told I can buy veg oil for 85p/litre for a 1000l IBC.
