Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins Conversion
Sunday, July 20th, 2008The time is coming up! I will be converting my Dodge truck, Hopefully I will get started in less than a month. I need to use this truck and I need to quit buying pump diesel for all the obvious reasons. Its a huge truck with a huge motor. But the beauty of it is that it is higher off the ground, there is more room to install everything and enough for a for a GIANT veggy tank.
I am thinking heavily about building a custom tank to allow me to use straight dumpster-fill, Or at the very least some type of dumpster-to-tank filtration if I can’t afford a custom tank with a remove-able cover. The 8Gal cell in my 300D is not enough to go anywhere in this truck at 15mpg. I’d like the veggy tank to be at least 40 gallons.
I will be posting later some more detailed information. Now I am for the time-being living in upstate New York I am going to try to tap the local experts before I do anything major. I love to see new ideas!
