In a nutshell, we use a seperate, redundant fuel system for VO. This includes a VO tank with heated fuel pick-up, fuel pump, pressure regulator and a filter. This secondary fuel system is heated using engine coolant.
There's alot of ways to rig up a conversion. Some people even appear to get lucky doing just that - but I have personally met (and seen the carnage!) quite a few people who it did not work out so good for. Trust me, if you 'do it right' - you WILL get your money back if ya drive much. Doing anything less will likely leave you on the side of the road when it is least conveinient and your spouse, in-laws, mechanic, etc. will also insist you were in fact a dumbie!
Like they said, be sure to read about Dino Fuel Alternatives V3 system. It truly is the Cadillac of VO conversions and worth every penny. I used the Frybrid V3 system in wifes Excursion - Frybrid gets V3 module from DFA and includes some of their exclusive VO tricks with their system.
Oh yeah, my truck has over 110k miles on VO and Excursion is over 40k miles now...
