Vegetable Oil Conversion Kit

Now that you have decided to go with a Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) system, there are a few things you will need to buy. First you will need a vegetable oil conversion kit for your car or truck. There are many companies out there that offer these types of kits.

Your basic kit will consist of a fuel tank, In-tank heat exchanger, heated fuel lines, fuel return, and system controller. There are some differences between vendors, but those are the basic components. You will need to decide whether or not to install the system yourself or take it to a professional.

If you decide to tackle this project alone you will need all of the tools needed to work on a car. Just a few standards that you might want to have are ratchet, and many different size sockets, screw drivers (various sizes), and possible a jack and jack stands to get under your car for easy access to the fuel lines and tank.

Make sure that you are working in a well-lit area. If light is a little scarce where you are working you might want to consider some halogen lights that can be mounted on a stand and taken off for easy placement in your work area. This might seem like a small thing, but any type of tray to organize all the pieces, screws, nuts, bolts, etc will be a big help for keeping track of anything you might take off or out of your car. Believe me you do not want to be searching for a small screw out in the driveway.

Once you have all your tools and parts you can get started. I would call whatever vendor you decide to purchase your SVO kit from and discuss you car in particular. See if they can give you any hints or tips that might make your install a bit easier. You should also discuss what is in the kit you purchased and make sure there are not accessories that you might have missed that you will need for your engine.

You will also need vegetable oil so your car will start and run. When doing this type of major overhaul to your car it might be a good idea to do some routine maintenance. Be sure to check your fluids (oil, transmission, ect…), and make sure you do not need to change anything. If you do need to purchase anything you might be able to get a discount at your local auto store for buying in bulk.

These vegetable oil conversion kits start at around one thousand dollars and go up from there depending on your option selection. If this is a car that you will have forever you might want to look at some of the higher dollar conversion kits.

On the other hand if this is a car that you are just toying around with start small and make sure that this is an endeavor that you want to be involved in. You may also want to check and see if it makes more economical sense to buy each part piece by piece. You may get a better deal by hunting for parts.

Either way SVO conversion is great for everyone involved. Whether it you, your community, or the environment, everyone is a winner.
