Alternative fuels > Waste Vegetable Oil
waste oil use over view.
dieselgman:
It will be interesting to see how the SR handles the alternative fuel since the SR uses direct injection and also a much different injector nozzle type (multi-orifice rather than pintle). If your filtration is perfect and RUG mixture is consistent and correct, I don't see any major problems. However, the SR is a MUCH lighter machine than the CS and could quickly suffer if it is unable to fully burn your fuel mixture. With just a slight nozzle problem, I have seen these frequently fully choked with carbon running on only clean diesel.
Good luck with your experiment! I look forward to reading about your results here!

Glort- What do you think is the low end of temperature needed to dry the oil by your method? I'm wondering because here at 5600 feet in AZ solar heating is more practical than elsewhere. It's low humidity here, so I'm hoping 50-54F (Edit should read 50-54C) temperatures might work; a few coils of 5/8 irrigation tube in parallel, covered with film come to mind as something very cheap to build.
Yesterday I ran a small air compressor, then my washing machine on my DIY sine inverter design...so I now have a viable power source for running your oil processor design pump and fan. (I've had to run the Listeroid for AC, no matter how small the load, for the last 10 years.) I already have a small pump which may be suitable.

Thanks everyone, will try my hand at a WI system one of these days (Ed gave a pretty good description in his chronicles). As for timing, I know diddly squat about how to go about that.
I will keep you up to date once I start.
dieselgman:
Timing is easy to change on the SR (addition or subtraction of shims under the pumps)... somewhat more difficult to determine though. On the 2-cylinder you will see TDC as well as Z (firing point) marks for each cylinder stamped into the flywheel... the firing point can be matched to the "spill point" for each pump. The Lister method calls for removing the delivery valve, installing a capillary tube, and rotating the cam back and forth until you can see the exact point where fuel starts and stops flowing through the pump. The manuals have a more detailed description of the process.

Climate plays a factor. Here #2 summer diesel gells into wax on the fuel filters in the winter.
