Thanks for the reassurance..I have all the bits now for the conversion...including a heated fuel filter which I was hoping to use instead of the standard one..only problem is: it only has one in & one out port! presumably I could use a T-piece connector to get around the problem??

Wouldn't use bio Diesel as I understand the chemicals in it, degrade the rubber bit's in the injector pump..(not an issue in the later engines)

I've done quite a bit of research into it..and as long as you use a heat exchanger, heated fuel filter & two tank system the td engine can be converted to run on svo.. I've already bought all the bit's ..The only thing holding me up, is trying to work out how to plumb the return pipes from I.P. and injectors... I need to have just 1 return through the pollak valve but as you can see on the fuel filter picture there seem to be 2 I'm confused!! ANY IDEAS?

Want to convert my 1989 diesel turbo csw to a two tank system...diesel & veg oil...but having problems working out how to plumb my return fuel flow.... The problem is: there is a return which comes from the injector pump & a return flow from injectors..The return from the I.P.(Injector pump) seems to go into the fuel filter... The injector return seems to go to the top of the fuel filter meets a banjo bolt ..then returns to the tank. In my Ideal set up I would have just 1 return (like the TDI engine) but I have these 2...I need to loop it some how but can work out the best way or the implications..look at my diagram to see what my Ideal system would look like.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS??
