- More importantly, I will have poured the entire purchase price of my vehicle into the fuel tank....
Holy Dinosaur Distillates, Batman!!!
Hi,
I have a couple of questions with regards to our L400...
My wife and I just bought a 1994 L400 Delica, and tinkering away on a WVO
conversion with a kit bought from PlantDrive.ca already!
Ed Beggs has been extremely personable and professional, and forthcoming
with initial explanations, as well as SUPER fast with delivery: received
the kit the day after I paid!!
The kit is fairly straight forward, but now kind of a bit stumped with
trying to find all the hoses... and an ideal placement under the hood for
the valves and filter.
If you have a good post, or pictures of it, I'd love to know!
Also would love to see where you teed off of your coolant system, and where you routed your tank lines and coolant lines...
Anyways, if you have a bit of feedback, feel free to chime in!
Diagrams would earn my eternal gratitude!!

On another note, found a suspicious black, hard caked-on buildup around the
injector closest to the front of the engine.
Wondering if you ever might have had a similar problem and what it might
be?
Also found the glowplugs are fairly rusted in the head. to the point that
I couldn't loosen them up, even with WD40, got worried about breaking one,
and backed off.
Is that a big problem and are there any tricks for getting plugs out
without breaking them off?
I look forward to hearing from you, and
Thanks for any feedback!
Cheers
Serge and Brigitte
