Direct Injection and Vegetable Oil

adhall:
I see that some of the Listeroids have direct injection.

Any opinions and/or experience to share regarding operating direct injection engines on vegetable oil?

Best regards,
Andy Hall

Geno:
Mine is IDI but there are DI Listeroids running on veggie. I'm pretty sure most of the newer cars have DI as well and there's a lot of them running it too. Just follow the "rules"

Yes, I have noticed that various vendors claim success with VO and direct injection, but I am wondering if there are any special pitfalls to be on the lookout for with this arrangement.

Best regards,

As I understand it the pitfalls include faster and more susceptibility to rink coking.  If injector heat is important in an IDI then it is critical in a DI setup.

I have a burned a lot of  WVO in a DI petteroid... I even start it on WVO...  I heat the injector line and  injector prior to starting... I do modify the piston though... here's a pic.
