Do you also sell just the tank (including mounting hardware and fittings)?
How thick is the aluminum you used for the tanks?

I want to extend the range of our Delica and would like to hook an extra tank up to the existing fuel tank. Don't need the WVO components.
Is there an extra fuel gauge or is it in combination with the standard gauge?

...and I also wanted to ask where did you fit your filler tube? I,ve been scratching my head for ages and can only think of the back interior floor pan. Your conversion looks very tidy. :-)

Andrew put's his filler right through the rear cargo floor. It works fine but I don't like the idea that it gets in the way.

I went like EricN did and put mine through where the jack used to reside. It's more work but works great and it's out of the way. You can check how I did it here: http://www.delica.ca/forum/mitsushi-wvo ... tsushi+wvo although there's some info missing. I ended up welding 2 tubes right through the frame behind the rear wheel for both my filler tube and my vent. This way I don't have airlock and the oil flows down really easy. Don't think there's a picture of that part.

Cheers.

install timing with out of province certification

Post by pattonmaclean »

Wow. Those are beautiful.
I am still figuring out what vehicle I will buy. In any case, I will have to certify the in Saskatchewan. Is it wiser to do the WVO conversion after provincial certification?

1225 + 800 for install? Any idea how difficult it'd be to find someone to do the install in SK after certification? Or could i bring the vehicle in through Vancouver, get the conversion done and drive it to SK to be certified?

Thanks.

I'm very interested in this but I also have a few questions.

1. How much would you charge for just the tank?
2. You say that it's a cash only sale and with no tax which is fine, but are you able to provide a receipt? If you're not charging tax because you don't sell enough to be required too then as I understand it the cost would be $2050 with install. If you are not charging tax so more money goes in your pocket then are you able to declare my purchase only and charge me tax so I can use it as a write-off?
3. The filler cap is inside the vehicle where oil could be spilled and where cargo might be while you're trying to fill?
4. How does this compare with what plantdrive is providing (I know the tank is A LOT cheaper but what about the rest?)
5. Is this an ongoing business or a limited time deal?
6. Is it possible to use one of the exisiting fuel tanks for extra vegetable oil or simply remove the heating mechanism from the tank so the ratio of WVO to diesel will be higher (I want to run WVO as much as possible and don't want to have to fill up constantly. Also, I understand heating the tank isn't really necessary in the lower mainland!?)

Thanks
