SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil) Has Changed My Life!

Here at GFS, it’s hard to count all of the ways that powering our vehicles on SVO has changed our lives.  Rather than tell you how, we’d like to hear from you.  How has SVO changed your lives?  If you don’t have an SVO burning vehicle yet, why do you want one?  Will it help you financially?  Will it allow you to start a new business?  Did SVO help you take a trip you’ve always dreamed of going on?  Do you have a particular SVO related moment that sticks out in your mind?  Feel free to comment below.

I’ll leave you all with one powerful moment I’ve shared on our website before which happened while on a family trip.

“We were on a trip with the kids where we had to rent a car.  I hadn’t realized how much the veggie oil business had affected my kids.  When we pulled up to the gas station to put gasoline in the rental car,  (no one rents a diesel)  My kids looked around and asked, “Dad, What are we doing here?”  They are so used to gathering our fuel from restaurants, they didn’t know what a filling station was.  It was a great moment.  Teach them while they are young!”

So share your story with the rest of us, we’d love to hear from you!

There are 3 criteria that are optimal in any SVO plumbing configuration.
1) Looped Return while running on vegetable oil.
- This slows down the draw from your tank, it’s easier on your lift pump and retains return fuel heat.

2) Purging vegetable oil back to the vegetable oil tank when shutting down on diesel.
- Although some small amounts of vegetable oil mixed with your diesel is not harmful, this feature insures no high concentration of vegetable oil will accumulate in your diesel tank.

3) When your SVO system is powered off, you’re running on diesel and in default position,  your fuel flow is in stock configuration (drawing from diesel tank, returning to diesel tank).
- This insures a quick recovery if you run your vegetable oil tank dry (that’s a no no) and makes it easier to isolate and trouble shoot.  With a 2 valve system or a 6 port valve you can only choose 2 of these options.

With our 3V valve set you achieve ultimate control over your fuel system.  Although a 3 valve setup is not standard with all SVO companies, it is a standard feature on all GFS fuel systems.  If you’re a DIY’er you can also purchase our 3V Tripple Valve Set.
