CJ, you stole my idea... lol Anyway, waterbed heaters are usually only 300 watts and max out at 100ºF. Actually thought about using two of them ducktaped on the bottom of my IBC tote that I use for settling, then insulating it with the foil bubble wrap so it will stay warm in my cold...

With bigger injectors, the black smoke is caused by lack of enough air to match the new injectors output, i. e. if you left those injectors in, you would need a bigger turbo. I do not think any real damage should have been caused by this, but an oil change and sample tested would be a good...

Sorry to hear CJ, please let us know what the dealership says about the excess smoke issue.

Anyone with an 06 or 07 automatic 2wd want to switch to manual? I'm looking to go the other direction and figured if anyone out there wanted to, we could swap transmission setups, that way no hunting for parts, etc... Why do I want to change? Well, I tow RV campers for a living, and I'm tired...

Unless you park your truck for the entire time it takes to make a batch of bio, you should not put a processor in your truck. Just my $0. 02

Just my $0. 02: Too much water and you will have to let it split longer, and it will naturally take a longer time decanting the water to go to your next wash. Too little water and you will need more washes to fully clean your fuel. The 1/3 to 2/3 ratio is not critical to follow right...

Other than adding B99, I would advice adding TWC-3 rated 2cycle engine oil, unlike regular motor oil, it is meant to be burned. You can get Wally World brand TWC-3 for $8/gallon, just add 1 quart per tankful and lubricity problem is solved. Make sure if you use 2 cycle, that it is TWC-3...

Wouldn't advertise that you are running bio, many guys have been getting busted for not paying road tax on home brew, and some states it is not legal to home brew at all. As for your low yeild and other problems, sounds like you are making too much soap. Now, here is my disclaimer...

Joe, Thanks for the info on getting the oil ready for processing. I truly appreciate the advice, but let me give you a bit of background on me. In my previous employment, I spent 19 years in chemical manufacturing. One of the products was a coconut methyl ester, VERY similar to making...

Thanks Joe, How long does it take to heat to 140*F, and then to 220*F?

For those making their own Bio, if you would, please tell me your heating times, temps, size of your processor, and wattage of your heating elements. I am in the final steps of designing my system, and would like to get some real world numbers to help me decide on final designs for heating...

Here is a link I found on Google ALL DIESEL CONVERTER DIESEL CONVERTER Discount Catalytic Converters

Thanks for the info, it makes sense, new injectors coming soon... . Thanks everybody for the help... .

Someone recommended I check out sponsors that sell F1 Flux injectors, they offer a rebuild service that is WAY cheap (like $125. 00 for a stock rebuild of my injector), and from my research, they have a great rep. I may end up going that route depending on turn around time, I cannot let my truck...
