    No oil pressure

    The valve, I've only seen mentioned in the manual. I think it's in the oil passage near the HPOP reservoir. However, even if it failed it shouldn't cause low pressure as the HPOP res is under pressure too. With the volume these pumps put out, there would have to be a pretty significant leak...

    No oil pressure

    I see you're here too... The only port that bypasses the filter I'm aware of goes to the HPOP reservoir. There is a valve that should shut it off once the pressure builds in the main oil galley. Even if there was a problem there it shouldn't cause no oil pressure. Someone had a problem...

    The only port that bypasses the filter I'm aware of goes to the HPOP reservoir. There is a valve that should shut it off once the pressure builds in the main oil galley. Even if there was a problem there it shouldn't cause no oil pressure. Someone had a problem awhile back where there was...

    Dieselcraft Centrifuge for WVO and BIO cleaning & dewatering

    Not sure if any of you have been following the Post at Biodiesel.infopop, but there have been some interesting results. Previously it was widely circulated that this centrifuge wouldn't work. Designed originally as a bypass oil filter. I've got one ordered, will post early results hopefully...

    Convert engine parts???

    May have been more an age issue than the Biodiesel. Mine still are fine, but I think the PO changed at least one of them at some point.

    Max Boost of stock turbo???

    PSI is pretty much RPM dependant. Max pressure isn't so much a problem for the turbo, but exceeding the safe RPM can be(tho actaul RPM is hard to determine). If you overspin it and it grenades the compressor, the debris goes into the engine (Bad). No worries if it's the turbine that goes. I...

    96 F350 Died on highway

    Be interesting to see what caused it to stick open. I've noticed a few of these a year on the forums but never hear back why. Being stuck open loosening the Poppet screw wouldn't have helped. You'd have to take it apart to see what happened. BTW, it's pretty easy to take the poppet out...

    96 F350 Died on highway

    Ok, thanks. Veggie wouldn't affect the poppet (unless it was diluting the engine oil excessively). The Poppet never touches the fuel side at all. I was wondering that too. The EASE shows pressure on mine, but in reality it is only showing desired pressure, not actual. Thats why I wanted him...

    96 F350 Died on highway

    I hope so. This is actually what my original suspicion was based on the symptoms, (see post 13) but then AE readings seemed to show oil pressure. Typically you can back off the poppet screw and get it to start. KD, what all tests did he have you do? (nothing against Bean, just curious) JDB...

    Wish I'd caught this earlier. You can tell if this is the problem by watching the injector while cranking. THe oil will pour out the spout of that one injector. Did you pull it already? If not give me a call

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    Two days, running to get the right part, etc :D In reality, the HPOP seal part is pretty quick. 1/2 hour to an hour takin your time. Add to that however long it takes you to R and R the filter canister. So it could be a few hours easy. Could run half a day if you encounter any hangups. Plus...

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    That is the famous Stancor Relay, and it's main beneft is it is way overdesigned for our purposes, thus should last virtually forever without degraded GP voltage over time. The down side is it will run you close to $50 with shipping. Fits under the stock engine cover too. (Allied Electronics)...

    dirty filter?

    If there were problems causing a loss of mileage that were related to, say, dirty injectors. Then the cleaning effects of bio could certainly help. The increased lubricity could also lead to restored injector performance.

    dirty filter?

    I didn't clog a filter for months after switching to Biodiesel. Eventually a bunch of black chunks broke loose and clogged the filter. Been fine since. Biodiesel may take awhile to loosen hard deposits.

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    Well, if you think so. I'll throw it into the Wiki later this week. I need to refresh my skills anyway, been awhile since I added to the Wiki Not sure why the thumbnails quit working. They showed up last night...

    96 F350 Died on highway

    Well thats odd. Your AE showed you had pressure before. I'd pick up a cheap 5000 psi gauge and get a hose shop to set you up with fittings, just to be sure. I have a known good IPR I can send out if you want it to test. Just pulled it from my truck. It sticks a tad about once a year but has been...

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    HPOP Removal Thought I'd do a quick summary on the HPOP removal. Not really enough for a WIKI write-up, but just some generalization since my Veggie system would make my pics different than normal trucks. EDIT: Wiki write-up is HERE In order to get clearance for the HPOP removal, the...

    Good Call:sweet He shows two styles, neither of which are like the one IH gave me. Maybe they are different from Ford. I'll try exchanging the rubber one monday and see if they have the right one...

    latest bio producers map

    ;tu Cool link there PB. Didn't realize we had so many around Hey Richard, that's a pretty detailed pic. Cool, but I get the feeling you have too much time on your hands, being spoiled with all that nice oil:D

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    NAME THAT PART... Well, IH gave me the wrong gasket. Don't know if I got the 96 up one or if the IH is different. Got the right one now, closest was 2 1/2 hours round trip in Elk Grove.:( Left is the one IH gave me. For those who know, is that the newer style???

    96 F350 Died on highway

    Yep, or something really wierd thats being missed. FWIW, poking thru the diag manual, the ICP pressure should not go above 0 until it detects a CPS signal, so logically the PCM IPR circuit/controls are working. I'll poke thru the manual later (after honeydo's) and see if I can get any...

    Got my DIY kit today

    Yep, my hat's off to Jim for doing the kits:sweet . Probably has some of his friends in the injector business/monopoly mad tho. They are very easy to work on. A bit sensitive to dirt of course, but anyone who could rebuild a trans could do a set on their own. Anyone who could rebuild a carb...

    AAAAAARGHHH!!!! OIL LEAK

    I'll let you know, haven't had one off yet. ;) The whole HPOP will have to come off the get to it. Guess I'll take some pics as I go. Mines going to be more fun 'cause the veggie valves and FPR are in the way....
