This system works on diesel powered vehicles only.

The video is about my WVO fuel system that I built and use to fuel one of my trucks. It shows the stainless steel settling tank, the valve, quick coupler and hoses going the the filtration part of the system. The filter consists of two PBH-420-15 Pentek PBH-420 Polypropylene Bag Filter Housing found here:

Here is a link to the actual filter sock or bag this is the 25 micron one. I believe that starting with a 25 and ending with a 5 may be close to the way to go depending on the quality of the oil. High quality oil is the only way to go in the long run. The poor quality oils, there is a fair amount of waste involved and it just plugs the filters

The water separator in the middle is a Cim-Tek 800 Series Fuel Filter HYDROSORB II WATER & PARTICULATE REMOVAL found here:

Here is the page of the adaptor for the filter to spin on to:

I went with all 1.5 pipe inlets and outlets on all my filters and adapted down to 1. I figured that way if I ever wanted to redo to system with only one of the bigger pumps it would be easy that way.

Basically I found everything either at a farm store, harbor freight tools or online. The pumps on the truck are roller pumps that I found used on craigslist. They work much better than the Harbor Freight pumps on the filers. The cheap pumps work great if you have gravity feed going in, but not if you have to lift the fluid. Roller or gear pumps are better that the propeller type pump as far as self priming goes. A vac truck would be the ideal way to collect the oil.

The Harbor Freight Tools 1″ Clear Water Pump can be found here:

The 1997 Ford Powerstroke

Has a two tanks, one being heated with engine antifreeze. The fuel line going to the engine is also heated. It is made by taking a fuel hose and running it inside of the heater hose that goes to the tank. I’ll have more detail on this in a later video and post, but search the internet for info on exactly how it is done. The fuel mileage and power using this system is noticeably less but I have free fuel. Replacing filters are a fraction of the cost of buying fuel, plus my money is not going to line Big Oil’s pocketbook and oil wars anymore.

The Truck Mods Include
Superchips Max Microtuner programmer
Custom Home Built 5″ Exhaust
Customized “Hacked” Factory Air Intake and K&N filter
Rebuilt 160cc Injectors
Custom Home Built WVO Conversion System
Home Built Propane Injection Kit
Home Built Water Meth Injection Kit

I have a few more videos and posts to make but you get the idea. I also have a home built hydrogen extractor on my 1996 VW Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 It needs a lot of work yet, but I think that is the fuel of choice for the future. There are actually machines that can make and store hydrogen from solar power electricity on the market now. My system creates it on demand from water under the hood using electricity from the battery.

Comment any questions and I will comment back.

Thanks for reading,

As climbing petroleum prices squeeze household and business budgets across the nation, the demand for alternative fuels also climbs. For most people, technology leaves few options: Drive less or pay more. Some create their own alternative — biodiesel. Made from fats, biodiesel is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly.

Lawrence, Kansas residents use old restaurant grease to fuel their vehicles…and the cause.
