Re: How many WVO miles... post em up!

Just a note regarding my experience with a 6.0L starting on cold veggie. I have experimented a bit to see how soon I can turn on my pump, expecially since most of my drinving is around town. If I start my pump and filter body heater right when I start the engine, by the time the filter and pump are up to pressure, the engine is pretty well up to full temp. But I also find that the veggie will burn just fine without noticeable "cold startup" type performance, if I can get the veggie up to pressure a bit sooner. I find that if I run the pump for a few minutes before I start the engine, I can cause poor running when starting the engine cause it gets to the injectors nearly instantaneously. So the ideal resolution is to preprime, then shut the pump off, start the engine, run for about 2 minutes up the road, then start the pump again. Gets up to pressure almost immediately again, and despite the engine temp gauge having hardly lited off the cold peg, the heater is throwing off heat, and the veggie is injecting just fine and running well. So this is my current method of operation. These engines warm up fast!
