Biodiesel Conversion Kits (HLine)

[erasedhammer]

So I was looking into converting my old M998 to a HL80 transmission to help with gas mileage and speed, but then I found the H-line conversions.

As I saw on their website, its a 500 HP upgrade and 25 MPG for the bio diesel system they put in. Now I do not know much about bio diesel systems, but can they be put in without replacing major components (engine, cooling system, drive train)? Also once the conversion is made, can you still feed the engine diesel and get the same HP and gas mileage bump?

So I was wondering if anyone had done the bio-diesel upgrade to their humvees.
What I'm looking for is a comparison between the two options, mostly looking at which one is less expensive and more effective.

Makes me think of...

500 HP in a 998, that smells like a disaster waiting to happen

Fake fake fake. I have been doing biofuels and am a diesel mechanic. No way you can do that with the stock engine, or any other for that matter.

There website isn't all that detailed, but I believe they replace the engine.

Unless its a cummins, its not gonna happen. ESPECIALLY a 6.2 or 6.5

My 345hp Cummins gets 33mpg...

Such a shame they put a 300,000mile motor in a 100,000mile package!

All I did to convert my 7.3 Power Stoke to run alternative fuels was pour whatever the alternative was in the fuel tank. WVO, Jet A, biodiesel, all run about the same. Only difference is some smell better than others.

Did you change out your filters? How often do you change them?

I changed them at regular service intervals. I filtered everything I put in the fuel tank before I put it in.

paper filters? I considering doing something similar and curious what you did.
