Diagrams

Hello!

I've been mentioning that I'm interested in a WVO setup, and had an idea on how to do it on my IDI. Some people were interested in seeing a diagram of my idea, so I finally got the chance to get one drawn up.

Diagram of stock fuel setup on an '83-'86 Ford diesel

Diagram for my idea on a WVO-converted fuel setup

Any comments? Does this look feasible? BTW, the coolant going with the WVO between the tank and the Racor would be in one of the Greasel "3-way hose" setups that they have.

Thanks in advance! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Diagrams



They're all expermenting with creating homebrew anhydrous ethanol for the BD production, and got carried away with sampling. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]


The diagram is actually pretty hard to follow. I suggest using standard engineering process flow icons for the various components. I stared at it for a couple minutes before I realized the tank selector valve was a valve and not a tank, which made the filter plumbing pretty non-sensical.

Anyhow... Back to sampling... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Diagrams

Rob,

I agree on it being hard to follow; I whipped it up pretty quick.

Where can I find a description of the proper engineering process flow icons? I haven't taken any engineering classes at school [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The diagram's also not complete; I meant to add in a couple of valves (to run the fuel from the main tanks through the diesel filter, so that I could run regular diesel in them if needed) and such...

Thanks!
