Another convert and NO HEAT!
Well I am on my second half tank of SVO, with no mods to the truck. Period. No heat lines, or extra filters. Am I being brave, probably. I started with about a 50/50 mix, and have been adding SVO 1/2 tank at a time, leaving room to dilute with diesel if things get harry. So far all is good. I have driven close about 300 miles on SVO in town. I am in the NW and it has been in the upper 80's during the day and own to the 50's at night. I noticed that it does start kind of hard in the morning at 55 degrees out, with no heat. However if I plug in the factory block heater, no noticible startup differance at all. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I have noticed that bottom end power is about the same, maybe even a little better throttle response, however it does not like to rev past 2500. I am thinking that has to do with the fact that I am not heating the oil at all, only what the factory filter and motor heat the oil. I called a local diesel performance shop today to ask what experiance if any they have, and if he is interested at all, and got the blow off. No interest at all, says it will have a lot less power, although he has never dyno'd one, and doesn't care. think maybe I will avoid that one.
