8.2T DD conversion help?
I have an '85 GMC Bluebird School Bus with an 8.2 Turbo Detroit Diesel, looking to convert for on board filtration. I would ideally be able to pull 100 or more gal from a grease trap and filter and de-water on the go. I am also considering having to de-water overnight, and run it in the morning (say 8-10 hrs of downtime).
I found a 150 gal aluminum tank off an old Mack truck, in good condition, and a neighbor willing to modify it to fit a heat exchanger. I also found a 90 gal aluminum tank off an old camper that I could grab.
Has anyone done a conversion on an 8.2T DD??
Searched the forum but haven't found anything specific for this engine yet..
Am looking to use Frybrid heat exchanger, valves, heated filter assembly, and pump. I've taken a class on veg conversion and poked around here quite a bit so am somewhat knowledgeable. Any schematics, designs, or ideas would be awesome, I can rig it up myself just fine.
The former owner, who was planning a conversion, did mention to me that these engines run a little different, at a very low fuel pressure. Can be converted, but to be sure and ask around first..
Thanks big for your time!
