84 300sd stall running on wvo when diesel tank dry
May 4, 2012 - 3:16am
so i have this greasecar kit 2 tanks in my 84 300sd not sure if i have an air issue on the wvo side... but i notice when i run on wvo it runs okay, slow and wack... (i been driving for like 4 month) unknown if thats normal, when im on diesel runs much stronger,i changed the filter about 4 times like ave. once a month, then loss power because im assuming it get filter gets clog up.
i notice when im driving on wvo tank and for some reason when my diesel tank is empty car dies...its like im running on blend In order for me to run on wvo, i need diesel in my reg tank,its wired is that normal? what could be wrong with my system?
thanks

so i determined what was wrong and you were right, valve a has failed. These valves has been installed since 05 or 06 cant recall, should i just go ahead and purchase 2 valves just incase b fails one day and save the $5 on a combo pack... or should i just stick to what i need. Im a college student and cant really afford to buy both valves right now. Also my question is when the filter starts to clogg can air come in due to clog filters or is it caused by a bad valve cause i installed a clear line that goes to the injector to see if air is coming and i do see it when i feel like the filter is clog
thanks again

So just replace the bad one.

No, the system should be air tight.
or is it caused by a bad valve cause i installed a clear line that goes to the injector to see if air is coming and i do see it when i feel like the filter is clog
Most likely.

It's not normal. When your are on veggie mode, suspect your energized A valve NO-COM port not fully closed. So you are sucking diesel and veggie at the same time. When you run out of diesel you are sucking air only from the diesel tank and car dies.

That's not normal too. Running on veggie should be (almost, your will hardly feel it) as strong as on diesel. Suspect your energized A valve NC-COM port not fully opened so there is a restriction of veggie fuel. Also check for restriction on your veggie fuel line.
So when your are on veggie you are in starvation of veggie and your are sucking some diesel, you get slow and wack...
In other words you have stucking valves A . So do the valve maintenance and make sure both valve A and B are good first and see...
