Ive had my VO system for a year. What general maintenance should I be doing?
Aside from routine vehicle care, you should have your VO system checked annually for wear and tear. Make sure the coolant system is working well, check the soundness of fittings, clamps, and valves, as well as the electrical components of the system. Its a good idea to look inside your VO fuel tank to monitor the accumulation of greasy deposits (this is especially important if you also run biodiesel). • Are there any problems with running VO in colder climates? Vehicles can be set up with a VO system in any climate. In colder weather, we must pay closer attention to optimizing and insulating the heating system. We recommend longer backflushing in the winter. Also, collecting and filtering very cold vegetable oil can present some challenges to the winter greaser.
