The Kit calculator

This is intended as a guide for those considering converting a diesel engined vehicle to used vegoil (WVO). It is my hope that this will prove useful in deciding what will be required in terms of components, configurations, and funds to provide a conversion that is safe, trouble free, and allows for the full power of the engine to be as available when using vegoil as diesel fuel.

Because climate/ambient temperature is so linked to vegoil viscosity the calculator uses climate as the starting point for calculating which "kit" is most appropriate for you. If you only have access to high fat or hydrogenated wvo please contact me to discuss any special provisions that may be required because of this.

Tropical climate. (Minimum temps above 60ºF)

If your vegoil fuel/wvo is partially hydrogenated or has a high fat/tallow content go to the  Temperate climate section.

Minimum conversion components:

    or

*(For engines above 3 liters add 15 amps of capacity, engines above 5 liters add 30 amps of capacity or a YelloJacket© Coolant/fuel heat exchanger)

Temperate climate. (Minimum temps above 40ºF)

If your vegoil fuel/wvo is partially hydrogenated or has a high fat/tallow content go to the  Maritime climate section.

Add to the components above:

Maritime climate. (Minimum temps above 20ºF)

Add to the components above:

Midwest climate. (Minimum temps above 0ºF)

Arctic climate. (Minimum temps above -20ºF)

Polar climate. (Minimum temps above -40ºF)

My condolances!
