Receiving materials


It is taking some time to receive my materials. I have ordered 75 feet of 3/8 inch fuel injection hose that will be used to send coolant to the veg tank to heat it and send the heated fuel to my engine fuel injectors. This is an easy part of the project to understand but one of the more difficult to complete. The fuel line is bundled with two coolant lines, one to send hot coolant to the tank and one to return it to the engine. By bundling the fuel line with the coolant lines the fuel is kept hot on its way to the fuel injectors in the engine. This bundle is about 2 inches in diameter and has to be wrapped in insulation. The way Marty and I delt with this is to run the three lines through the wheel wells and under the car. To protect them under the car we built a stainless steel skid plate that covers the lines. This way they are no lower than the lowest point of the car and you don't have to worry about damage to coolant line.
