restored power with WVO....

I was not sure where i should post this. it is only WVO related..

but i just finished my WVO conversion. after driving around town every thing felt normal same power, etc...
but when i took my trailer out, on the hills that I would usually need to drop down a gear, I could pull up it with out dropping a gear. what gives?

the diesel filter is a new change, theire are two identical lift pumps for #2 and WVO.

Re: restored power with WVO....

I experienced an increase in power when using WMO (not WVO) with one of my old diesel vans. My feeling was that the IP was worn out, and the increased viscosity leaked less and resulted in better injection pressure.
