Hi,
I am on the midst of collecting biodiesel/SVO/WVO conversion stats and JDM conversions in particular as a lobby against 15 year rule. Some large groups would like to know the raw numbers or percents so they can throw their weight behind us. Please let me know if you have suggestions who to contact for such info.
Thanks
D

Re: Question on biodiesel stats
Hello "D" what sort of stats are you looking for, If your contacting the sierra group, then you will want to mention that you can reduce your pump fuel by as much as 95% ,no thats not a typo. I said 95% as you only need pump fuel to start your engine on and use it for stopping your engine. Or you can tottaly get off pump fuel by using 100% bio for that last 5% of reg fuel. WVO is the ultimate in recycling. your taking a product destined for the garbage and using it to transport your self around.
not a bad way to make your own difference in the start of the last energy crisis.
SVO is not likely to become that popular unless some major changes are made, as the biggest problem is still getting the oil to heat up to temp that sits in the injection pump and heating the fuel lines from the pump to the injectors... Well that and the cost of vegitable oil is still more than diesel pump fuel.
I/we are building our own wvo kit for the delicas, but have had to stop as I need one here to make the final test fit for out Under vehicle wvo tank. I have 3 tanks ready now but have to put tops on them to finalize. and the computer brains for the are not here yet.
I dont know If I can give you any further info . OH keep in mind that if you are an alternative fuels dealer, THE GOVERMENT is allready making the products PST exempt to help promote the public buying and investing in alternative fuels. So there is some support from Gov. well at least on a provincial level , there is also some gov grants to help with R&D for this type of technology. I have a bit more info on my wvo page >http://enviroimports.com/wvo_kits_.html
feel free to call if you have some more questions.
I dont know if that bit of info helps you, but hopefully it will.

Re: Question on biodiesel stats
Hi Noel,
Well yes, Sierra does need to be told that, and of course with the proper source they can believe in that data. Perhaps I didn't make my point clear. My premise is that the best way to battle the 15yr rule is to use the green angle, and say that banning JDMs is anti green as it removes a source of biodisels/svo/wvo conversions from the market. Not everyone wants to drive an old diesel benz or rabbit, but I need stats. We can't just go and say "alot of Delicas are converted'. We need to know that Delicas (because of the shortage of used diesel vans perhaps) maybe supply 30% of the diesel conversions.
Cheers
David

Re: Question on biodiesel stats
Hi,
Well Im not sure where the stats will come from , all/any diesel vehicles can run on biodiesel and all diesels can be converted to wvo. you might want to try looking to some UK stats as alot of NEW vehicles run on svo.
the only stats I have are that 100% of the conversions that I have done are jdm's and happen to be family size mini vans(delica's) I have a friend who also installs/sells plant drives and he has done 80% jdm's , you could try going to the alternative fuels program with the provincial gov to find out how many people/companys are actual legal/registered distributers. I'm one of them but dont really know of any others.
if you call stats Canada, you could find out how many diesel vans/make and models have been brought into Canada in the last 2 years. they can even give it to you in the last month or 6 months. that could be a good source to show how many vehicles are viable to run on bio or wvo.
I doubt you will get hard data on how many have been converted as the few companys that sell the kits are not going to tell you how many they have sold and to where. but one point is that there is enough demand for the diesels to run on bio that major companys like raycor have started to make filters exclusivly for bio and wvo.
I can tell you that I have more requests daily to convert Delicas, pajeros,surfs... over to wvo and im sure that the other sellers also get the same and alot more as they have been around longer.
There is so much demand for the wvo kits that I have had to hire a welder fabricator part time . and expect to have him on full time in the next few months.
some of this may help or may not , but thats all i have for now. good luck with our aproach. any help for the 15 year rule is apreciated.

Re: Question on biodiesel stats
Noel,
Thank you for your kind help.
"I suggested using your quote to some organizations. "
Their reply was what number is 100%. 1 conversion or 1000? It is iimportant and they need that before relying on that evidence.
It would be helpful to have either the conversions over some recent perod eg 6 months or the cumulative total.
Regards
David
