Elsbett kit for Mark IV VW TDi in St Louis. New price!
I had an Elsbett single tank conversion kit professionally installed on my 2001 VW Golf TDi. Recently I had the kit professionally un-installed to sell it in order to fund repairs unrelated to running veg oil on the same.
Complete kit comes with bored out injectors, manual, most of the hoses, all of the filters (plus another new replacement filter)/warmers, and electronics. Kit was run for about 60k miles. Asking for $700, paid $2700 installed three years ago.
I presume that the kit is ready to install on any Mark IV, 4 cyl VW's (99-03), but I advise you to ask your mechanic first. Most of the components of the kit are universal, you may have to invest in some different electronics and certainly new injectors to run this on a different make or a car with more cylinders.
In case you aren't familiar; the Elsbett single tank conversion kit is available as on option in VW showrooms in Germany. The kit uses the car's original fuel tank, and allows you to run on WVO, Biodiesel, or Petrodiesel in any combination. It adds a couple of elements to warm up (and therefore thin out) and filter the WVO as well as some new relays to keep the glow plugs on longer at start up and retard the timing a little so the oxygen sensor doesn't freak out when VWO hits the injector rail.
I was able to use straight WVO as long as overnight low temps stayed above 50 f. Cooler than that and I started blending in petrodiesel. Below freezing, I used straight petrodiesel. The car got 44mpg hwy before conversion. 39 after. 30 when running straight WVO, but it was free!
