Looking for WVO conversion in Missouri

We want to use WVO in our diesel and need someone to convert it. Know where we can get it done?

Why not do it yourself? Got one. '85 Ford F-250, you're welcome to look at, be glad to answer questions. Have friends and neighbors who have later models both Ford and Chevy.

Hey Adron. I see you're in our neck of the woods. We're near Lebanon. We're building a house and just don't have time to do the diesel. Need to hire someone. You available?

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you blend it all you have to do is filter it right?

We super filter the oil with a centrifuge . .down to 1 or 2 microns.....
Then it is blended.
My Chev 6.5 has been running on it for around three years now. . . with absolutely no modifications to the engine.
NO heaters
NO second tank

And it gets cold up here in Mich...........

Wish I knew more about it. I'd rather run straight WVO, no dino-diesel. Gotta heat the oil I know. We're so busy with house building we need someone to do it for us. Got a source of WVO already.

Sparticle; The actual conversion can be done in a day or day and a half if you have assembled all the parts. I tried to find a paper I wrote on it a couple of yeas ago, but was not successful.

The main thing is to have a secure continuous supply of good fairly clean (no fat) vegetable oil. You have to heat it (especially in the winter) and then filter it to 10 microns or less. Don't want any of those corn bread particles clogging up the injector.

You need a fuel tank, electric fuel pump and Pollock (6-way) valve and either a heater core or automatic transmission cooler to heat the oil in the fuel tank. Then just hook them all up. There are several places with instructions on the internet.

Let me dis-abuse you of any thoughts you may have of "free gas". It's not free. You have to make pick ups of all the oil on a regular basis. Or they will find someone else more dependable. Probably provide barrels for the restraunts to dump the used oil in when they change cooking oil. Thieves steal from the barrels. You have to filter the oil. and a lot more oily dirty work.

I also have a almost completed bio-diesel conversion operation.

You might Google "Greasel Conversions in Drury, Mo" as they do conversions on all type of diesels.

Again, I'd be happy to show you the ropes and the operation...but it isn't something just for a lark.
