CA registered til March 2016


Other key components of 6.0L Diesel engine replaced in recent years:
<
FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) halfshell

Internal Injector Control Pressure diagnosis and service

Fuel Pump, Fuel Pressure Regulator replaced

Stronger Alternator, 2 6V house batteries and terminal cables

Engine oil & filter changed every 3000 miles, all warranty service intervals by FORD


Fuel Efficiency and climate change/carbon neutral :

15/19 city/hwy miles per gallon on Diesel, Bio-Diesel, and on straight vegetable oil (SVO / WVO )

30 gal main diesel tank and 40 gal aux tank, about 70 gal total = 1200 miles driving without refueling

Optional High-end Biofuel (VegiStroke v2) system by BiofuelsTechnologies.com (was about $6000 with 40 gal radiator-heated tank and installation)

If system is turned on, the van starts on diesel, when at operating temperature automatically switches to biofuel, at end of trip automatically cleans and resets itself. Or just use the 40 gal second tank with diesel.

Including VegiStroke brain, automatic filter, pump, and engine radiator-heated secondary 40 gal biofuel tank, 2 spare biofuel filters

Skip the gas stations! Buy biofuel in most areas for $1-2/gal or make your own free fuel by recycling your neighboring restaurants' cooking oil -- if interested, with the van you can receive my easy, fool-proof and very efficient filtration system for your garage: with two 55 gallon drums (plus another 55 gal storage drum if you like), one drum is heated/isolated for optimal filtering/dewatering/settling, 2 filters, 2 electric and 1 manual pumps to clean and pump clean fuel straight into your tank
