Has Anyone On Here Successfully Converted A 6 Oh? I Heard It Wasn't Possible. Then Again, I Have Seen A Few Kits. Has Anyone Done The Conversion? If So, What Kit And How Many Trouble Free Miles. I Can Honestly Get My Hands On About 4000 Gallons Of Wvo A Month. Problem Is I Would Have No Where To Put Such A Large Amount! So I Have The Oil Just Want To Know If There Is A Kit Reliable Enough To Handle Our Troublesome Trucks?! Thanks In Advance For Any Inputs!

Move this down to the alternative fuels section, and you'll get more (and better) responses.
I'm not a fan of SVO/WVO because its not good for the air quality. Biodiesel is the better bet. Be careful of WVO - it can contain caustic cleaners that are difficult to remove, and can cause serious injector damage.

well i would be building a filter system with two 55 gallon drums the first drum would contain the wvo but would be filtered through a 1.5 micron filter and a 1 micron filter and into the second tank. From the second tank to the pump to your truck would be a .5 micron and a 0 micron filter. So im pretty sure it would come out as clean or cleaner than new. What do you guys think? Is there any power loss with these kits? Would fuel mileage go down or up. Even though it wouldn't matter because it would be free. See once i have the filtration system the only thing i would need to replace would be the filters. I can screen filter the heavy stuff out rather than clogging the filters up right away. Im just worried about injector problems. i worried that these trucks wont respond well to it. I want it to be safe ya know? I dunno if i should go for it or stay away from it.

Looking for:
Guages-Dashhawk?..5in MBRP Duals? Want to come out in front of tires...New HPOP..Stage 2 Fuel System..Injectors...ARP Studs.. Fire Rings and ported heads-future...New Turbo... Banks Intercooler.. Torque Converter.. Tranny buildup..Stage 1 Cam.. Elbow- CFM+.. Coolent/Oil Bypass.. Circ. lines. Blow-off valve..
I have run about 400 gallons of 50/50 blended WVO and Dino Diesel in my 2005 6.0. I am settling the WVO for about a week, then cold filtering it at 5 microns, twice. Then re settling for a couple days. Once All that is done, I am left with extremely clean WVO. That gets blended 50/50 with ULSD from the pump and then poured in the tank. Its not driving for free, but i look at it as paying $2 per gallon instead of $4. So far so good. I changed out my fuel filters before i started this and I am keeping a close eye on them both. So far they look normal! Give it a shot. I think the reason nobody is trying it is because these are relatively new and expensive motors to use as guinea pigs. Im happy with my current setup though.
Lots of people are doing it. Go to the alternative fuel section. It's getting harder and harder to find used oil for free now a days. That's how many people are doing it.

Vegistroke kit is the way to go. I installed mine 10k miles ago without a hitch. Truck runs quieter and has the same power. Your mileage will be the same.
In your second post, filtering, depending on where you get your oil will determine your filtering strategy. You should post those questions in the bio/alt fuel section. I currently use a centrifuge and final pump into truck is via a 1 micron bag filter.
