I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with the duramx diesel ingine that I would like to convert to run on WVO. I have been reading as much as possible on the net but there is not much info on converting the Duramax. I know that Greasel has a conversion but I wonder if there is a better one available.
I have also read that the diesel fuel is used to cool the CPU on my truck and that using hot WVO could potentially damage the CPU.
If anyone has converted a duramax please respond with your thoughts.
Thanks,
Corey

Duramax veg oil conversion
I have worked on a 2002 converted with a greasel kit. The system is simple and worked ok but lacked any final heat reqiured if you plan on burning the oil in temps. below 60* F outside temps.
They ran the veg fuel through ecu and through the stock diesel filter then on to the injection system. with a looped return. The ecu is cooled by the fuel so it got hot buy not enough to cause problems but my personal take is you need to heat fuel above 160* F tio have a cleaner burn.

Duramax Veg Oil Conversion
I run a 2 tank GFS system on a 2003 Duramax and have for about the last 30k miles. The fuel runs through the lift pump and module on the discharge side of the stock filter. I run an 80 gallon voyager with a Hotfox, 3B hose, and no additional heat. In the winter, you really need to wrap the stock fuel filter just to hold some temperature. Bad thing is, it is within a few mm of the head and not easy to access. May put a different filter on with a more accessible mount. But to answer your question, it can be done, and actually works quite well....
Duramax
Can you post or send photos the layout that works? I have a duramax and want to convert to WVO.

I just finished an 02'Duramax the right way! Contact Craig reese with Plant-drive. You need to build a completely separate fuel system that allows fossil mfuel diesel from the stock tank to continue to flow through the FICM. It reguires an extra Valve, pump, and some extra thought. But worth it!

04 Duramax 6.6 WVO
Hey all, can you give some more info? I am wondering if I filter it very well, and heat it slightly above its gelling point with a mix of say 20%d and 80%WVO
This should work fine right?
If not, can someone please point me where someone has completed these conversion, and the price involved with it?
Thanks!!!!!

2005 DURAMAX WVO CONVERSION
I am purchasing a 2005 silverado 2500 with a Duramax 6.6 and need info on conversion to WVO. I have heard that the FICM(fuel injection control modual) is cooled by the fuel somewhere on the return line near or on the engine. Does anyone know if (1) does the heat from 160+ degrees VO cause damage to the FICM and if so (2) is there a way to relocate the FICM to a part of the return line that is not in the VO path. Any info would help greatly.
Thanks
