SOLENOID VALVES for Twin-Tank Veg Oil Vehicle Conversions 3 / March / 2008
L340 Solenoid Valve
Twin Tank Veg Oil Conversion
L340 solenoid valves from Zoedale Plc are a perfect choice for this modification, already popular in the eco-friendly German market and now well underway in the UK.

The twin tank conversions offer a cheaper and greener alternative for the diesel-fuelled vehicle. The engine is initially started on the diesel fuel tank whilst the SVO (straight vegetable oil), WVO (waste vegetable oil) or PPO (pure plant oil) is heated. When hot enough, fuel supply is switched over to the SVO/WVO/PPO tank. At the end of the journey the engine is switched back to diesel, purged of vegetable oil and ready to go again - easy!

The L340 solenoid valve is ideal for switching these fuel sources due to its 3-port/2-way universal function, Viton seal and large 3/8" BSP connections with 12mm full port internal orifice. Other features, such as the ability to withstand fluid temperatures up to +130 degrees C and ambient temperatures from -10 to +80 degrees C make it the optimum choice for veg oil conversions. The valve comes complete with a 13W encapsulated coil rated at +165 degrees C and 100% duty. As an additional option Zoedale can supply IP65 or 3m pre-wired IP67 DIN electrical coil connectors.

There are other solenoid valves out in the market that supposedly can do the job but we suggest you be wary of inferior copies or valves with inadequate flow rates or temperature specifications. Our valves may be a little more expensive but can you put a price on quality and reliability? A comment on a veg oil forum from someone using a motorised 6-port valve: 'It may last a couple of months or maybe a few days, but it will eventually fail and sooner rather than later' - how economical is that?

We're already helping to make it happen in the UK with fleets of commercial vehicles. If you don't want to be left behind, contact us today and we can help kick-start your ideas.
