Been driving my stock 95 3/4 ton 4WD Suburban for a week now. Started with a half a tank of pump diesel (according to the guage), and filled the tank up with my homebrewed BIO to give me a tank fill of (approximately) B50. Since my pump isn't metered I couldn't measure exactly how much it took...

Yeah, and having read this whole thread in one sitting I concluded that reason is air flow. That's why I plan on using a heatsink with a fan - to give it that constant airlow. Earlier posts also indicate that minimizing the range of the temperature cycling is almost as beneficial as keeping...

NICE! That should speed things up once I get the pump onto the electronics bench. I won't have to spend time figuring out what each wire does. BTW, the one marked cam signal - is that to sync the pump timing to the cam timing? Anybody know?

COOL! Once we get a weight, PM me his address and I'll get the packing box and label sent out to him right away.

OK, gotcha'. You didn't misunderstand the question - I misunderstood your answer. Thanks for the info...

Cool (pun intended ;) ) I think I'll simplify and leave the peltier element out of it altogther. I like the idea of putting it in the cab where it is in a relatively climate-contolled environment and will stay nice and dry. However I want to make sure it gets enough air flow, so I think I'll...

New 6.5 owner here. Just traded a 92 Cherokee Limited (plus $2400 cash) for a very nice, original 95 Suburban LT. I have an idea I wanted to propose here and see what all the experts thought of it. I have a peltier cooler from one of those little 12v beverage chillers laying around in my...

You bet. I can ship you (or your brother) the box and form-fitting foam packing material from a mechanical DB2 pump I bought for my Ford with a pre-paid return shipping label. The DS4 pump should snuggle right into the foam packing and box just like the DB2 did. All I need is an address and...

Understood, hopefully we can find someone who can pick it up. I can send a box with a prepaid label to whoever is willing and able to pick it up from you, box it up, and drop it off at a UPS store. That's good info - a source for good CHEAP used PMDs is always a good thing to have...

What if UPS showed up at your door with a box and a pre-paid shipping label? I have a UPS account and could make that happen easily enough. Technically, you wouldn't be shipping it - I would...

Yah, I did a little more research and I think I understand how it works now. If what I read is correct, it is a photo emitter / reciever pair with a slotted disk between them. As the pump rotates, the disk rotates and as the slots pass between the emitter and receiver, light passing through the...

I've been wondering about this too. What kind of signal does the OS put out? Is it a variable voltage or variable current? Does it give a higher level output with clear fuel than it does with darker fuel? I'm thinking that if it does output a higher level signal (more voltage or more...

Seller is asking $5500, but I think I can get him down below $5k - maybe even as low as $4500... What all is involved in converting to the manual pump? How much does it cost (doing the work myself)? Will they still pass emissions after conversion?

Well, straight ORD is pretty close to being as dark as the bio I've been running - just red instead of brown. So that is still somewhat useful info. I'm kinda' surprised that there have been well over 50 views of this thread and only 1 reply...

Hi all, first post in the forum. I'm looking at buying a 99 Suburban and wanted to get some feedback on how the 6.5 - with its optic timing sensor - does with home brewed bio. A buddy of mine uses a BioPro 190 to make bio for both of us. The fuel is a bit on the dark side - probably mainly...
