Jerry, do you stop and start on Diesel? Did it cost a lot to rig the system up?

Hi John,
   You must wait until the engine is up to temperature before switching to WVO and you must switch back to diesel in time enough for the engine to clear the oil out before you stop. The return line switch is delayed a little to give the fuel time to get thru the engine before switching tanks. I've only run about a thousand miles so far on oil.
   I did all the work myself and it cost me about $2500 for the parts.

How large are your tanks? Both in diameter and gallons? Do you have photos of your set up? Did you buy a kit to do your vo conversion? I want an RTS but I want to convert it to vo and am trying to see everything I can that others have done first. Thanks!
