"Always above 70 degrees." Wow, I'm jealous.
I believe the cheapest AND the best conversion is to be found using the info on http://vegoilconversions.netfirms.com/ I spent a lot of time researching different systems and chose this one myself as both the best and cheapest. It's been great for me, and having been prowling this forum for nearly a year now I haven't seen anything that would change my mind. Good luck!

easiest way is to collect and filter WVO to less than 10 micron. 5 or 1 microns is better.
You can probably mix 50% WVO with either diesel or a diesel/gas mix. This you should be able to run in your stock system without any modifications. Or you can run two seperate fuel systems. Start on diesel and after the engine heats up you can switch to 100% WVO as long as you heat the WVO before using it. 1983 Holiday Rambler 6.2 Banks TD 1987 Mercedes 300TDT 1984 Isuzu P'up 4x4 diesel 1983 Maxima wagon LD28 1985 D50 Ram 2.3 TD 1984 Isuzu P'up longbed diesel |

If you have not already you may want to check into the availability of used vegoil and level of fats in it. This will determine what you will need to convert your vehicle..or if the cost of wvo compared to diesel actually warrent it. I have run into some wvo which is nearly solid at 70°F due to base stock and/or fat content. This needs to be terated as if the vehicle were being converted for a colder climate with thinner/lower fat conted wvo.
What engine is in the Balzer? Is it an IDI or DI diesel?

Dana,
1986 Chevy 6.2L is IDI. In fact, I believe all chevy diesels prior to the IZUZU Duramax were IDI's. malamin, Check out my signature for an easy "conversion". Basically stock, running a 75/25 WVO/RUG Blend with Cetane Boost/Fuel Conditioner. Hey, almost 23,000 miles and she's going strong. Hope this helps! Good Vegging and God Bless!! 24,000 veggie/blend miles and counting!
