Includes: our coolant-heated  3 micron fuel filter    and 90 degree elbow fittings to easily connect 3/8" ID coolant and fuel lines; our exclusive Vegtherm Standard inline electric SVO heater with reliable bolted wire connections, Bosch 50A relay and wiring plug, circuit breaker and wiring connectors (the Vegtherm Standard is 20A@12VDC, 240W of fast heating power for faster switchovers, higher SVO temperatures than using engine coolant as the SVO heating source alone), convenient, easy to install,compact 6-port motor drive fuel selector valve with integrated mounting base to receive mounting bolts, wiring plug for the valve, toggle switch for fuel selection, our "Forgot-to-Purge" buzzer, and 30+ page installation guide (sent as a pdf file by email when you order.)

Upgrade to two 3-port solenoid valves if preferred or if using any of our controllers, by adding one of the 12V solenoid valves: We will remove the 6-port motor drive and substitute two of the 12V 3-port solenoid valves in that case. The motor drive 6-port valve we offer has been very reliable in service for a number of years on thousands of SVO conversions. We offer a 5 year warranty on the valve even though the manufacturer's warranty is one year. We feel these valves offer a very good value and good reliability. However, use two 3-ports if you are using a controller of any sort, or if you plan to, or if you plan to operate on very thick oil/grease. Two three-port valves are somewhat more difficult to mount, wire and plumb. Our Valves page is here: http://www.plantdrive.com/shop/home.php?cat=253

Most contemporary two-tank conversions running on used cooking oil do use a Hotfox, but it is not an absolute requirement if oil will always stay liquid in the tank. Our system is not dependent on in-tank heating. We recommend avoiding copper in in-tank heating, or excessive heating and cooling of SVO in the tank (copper reactions with vegetable oil, and condensation issues). This is why we use the Hotfox, when it is needed. The Hotfox is the fuel pickup and fuel heater all in one! Heat the fuel, efficiently, as it is drawn from the tank.

The HotFox is stainless steel, with all coolant and fuel connections external to the tank. The HotPlate is a stainless steel cross-flow flat plate heat exchanger which adds heat to any system. Dodge trucks tend to run cold and a HotPlate is always a good idea with a Dodge. The HotFox and HotPlate are in our Coolant-Based Heaters section here: http://www.plantdrive.com/shop/home.php?cat=252

Not included are coolant or fuel hose or hose clamps. The manual tells you where to buy them at local auto parts stores or online. We do this to keeps the cost of the kit down - hose is bulky and expensive to ship. Also when we shipped hose, years ago, we had to include enough for a worst-case scenario; that is, long wheelbase trucks with an 8' bed and an extended cab need more hose than a shorter truck,and customers would either want to return unused hose, feel badly about taking it to landfill or were loath to add it to the other junk in their garage. And of course they'd paid for that unneeded hose. As for hoseclamps: we give you a phone # for McMaster-Carr and the part number for their finest hoseclamps, and if you order before 5 and you live west of the Mississippi you'll have your clamps by 10 AM the next morning, 10 AM the following day if you're east of the Mississippi. You'll pay less than if we included them in the kit and you can easily order more if you add a heating component like a HotFox or HotPlate later The cost for an average passenger car for hose and clamps will be under $150, and for a truck, under $200.

We tell you how to assemble a hose-on-hose assembly. You'll bundle the synthetic rubber fuel lines with the synthetic rubber coolant lines so that the hot coolant exchanges it's heat with the fuel in an adjacent line. Hose-on-hose is easier to run that hose-in-hose but more importantly, you avoid the risk of losing the coolant due to an imperfectly installed compression fitting, or a compression fitting that loosens over time, with the very real possibility that your engine will overheat, resulting in a blown head gasket, cracked or warped head, cracked block or all of the above.

A NOTE ON TANKS: We do not include tanks with these kits as many people do not need in-tank heat (see above) and our kits are not dependent on in-tank heat to work. Therefore, a wide range of tank options is possible. Customers have installed the Hotfox, if needed, in almost any conceivable tank. Some vehicles have two tanks. One can certainly be used if you wish, for SVO. We recommend the tank be removed, cleaned, install the Hotfox while removed, and then reinstalled. Others have used surplus tanks, recycled tanks, Tidy Tanks, Northern Tool truck bed tanks, tanks with tool boxes as part of them, plastic marine tanks, RCI aluminum tanks from www.summitracing.com , dune buggy tanks from www.jegs.com , etc.

Basically, with our kit you are not locked into buying a tank from us and you have a wide price range, size, and mounting locations to choose from.

If you do get one from us, it will be thicker aluminum and a stronger, better tank than others sell, with a method of filling that is convenient, and your spare tire will stay in the car, typically, in the spare tire well. Any tank you use must be properly installed, mounted solidly, vented, etc.

CAN YOU INSTALL THIS KIT? If you are a capable and careful "backyard mechanic". If not, get help from a friend who is, or from a professional mechanic who is willing to read our instructions and work with you/us, or get one of our dealers to install it - see our Dealer page. (In that case, have the DEALER order your kit for you, it costs you the same either way and they get their dealer discount.)
