The good news is that we can get you everything you need to run your Diesel engine on plant oil. However every car or truck is slightly different and may have different fuel supply requirements.

We want to make it convenient for you by offering complete conversions or assist you by supplying parts, consultation and service. We consistently develop and adapt products as well.

Tank

For a two tank system you will need a second tank. Polyethylene plastic tanks are usually the most economical option and fit in the trunks of most vehicles. If you want to hide your tank away - which is definitely more elegant - you will probably look at a more costly customized aluminium tank.

Depending on your climate you may also consider an in tank coolant heater.

Heat and Filtration

Before the fuel can enter the combustion chamber it needs to be heated and filtered. We have small and efficient coolant heated filters that can fit in tight engine compartments (Vegmax).

To ensure the right fuel temperature we also have electric inline heaters (Vegtherm).

Switching Fuels

To switch between the different fuels we supply electric solenoid 3 or 6 port valves. Most vehicles will operate well with a single 6 port valve, however for complete separation of fuels two 3 port valves can be used with a timed delay. (Note: Diesel engines have a fuel supply and a return line, which means that you need two lines per fuel and two connecting with the engine injection system.)

Accessories

There are a number of options depending on your vehicle, your climate and your convenience. They range from extra heaters to fuel gauges to fully computerized operation of the system.

Oil Collection

Unfortunately there are very few convenient fuel stations that supply vegetable oil for your car or truck. Oil is used in great quantities in the food industry and it is recommended that you establish a mutually beneficial relationship with a local restaurant. We have all sorts of accessories for oil collection and pre-filtering.
