26 Hotplate coolant/SVO heat exchanger

Auxiliary Fuel Pump (12V DC)

Check you local NAPA

This sucker provides a lot of heat and quick! They are great because they heat the oil as it flows through the line instead of an entire tank making it more efficient.  These are awesome if you have a big alternator and can run a lot of accessories off your battery.

The Hotfox is an excellent heater for two reasons.  It heats the oil using the excess heat from the engine and because it heats the entire tank of WVO.  Definitely a big piece of the conversion puzzle.

Just like the Hotfox, this heat exchanger uses the excess heat from the engine to heat the WVO. 

The auxiliary fuel pump should both extend your main fuel pump’s life span and make maintenance on your fuel system much easier.  They run off your battery but require little power.

Fuel & Coolant Hose

When you convert your vehicle, you will need enough fuel & coolant hose to go from your engine to your tank and back.  Most vehicles use either 5/16” or 3/8” fuel hose and 1/2” coolant hose.

Coolant-Operated Tank Heaters

Fuel Tank

When we did our conversion, we were able to get our hands on a tank that was designed for the bus, but if you aren’t so fortunate, PlantDrive has some pretty cool designs, but can get pretty pricey.  Check out Frybrid for some affordable tanks.http://plantdrive.comhttp://frybrid.comhttp://www.plantdrive.com/shop/home.php?cat=75shapeimage_13_link_0shapeimage_13_link_1

6 Port Fuel Selector Valvehttp://www.veggiefuelsystems.com/products.html
One of the most important pieces to making any of this work is the fuel selector.  Without this baby you couldn’t switch between your new veggie system and your old diesel system.  This part will reroute your fuels at the flip of a switch. http://www.plantdrive.com/shop/home.php?cat=75
