milford to mesquite and back, on 1/3 vegetable oil 2/3 diesel at full freeway speed + (about 80 mph)
note: I was able to maintian 80 mph up any grade on this road at part throttle, and I was able to accelerate respectably up these grades.
Pyrometer showed the following exhaust temperatures:
Idle 200-300F
cruise 450-550F
climb 600-900F
I have not yet seen EGT's past 800F which is good for the valves :-) |

General around town B-bop with a few short highway trips and a trip to cedar.
I can see how enjoying the Brisk acceleration consumes much greater fuel.
Put the big clutch fan back on for cooling (need a sheet of aluminum to install the electric fan I have) |

This was the maiden voyage and stress test of the new powertrain.
With my toes in the turbo I climbed from cedar city utah @5000' in altitude to over 10,000' altitude over Brian Head to Kanab at fastest safe speed staying between 60 and 70 mph except in the switchbacks.
With the cars 17.5 gallon tank that is a 800 mile range under these conditions.
Next time I will slow it down on the flats to get you the other end of the spectrum. |
