BioTuning are the authorised UK distributors for Pollak. We are also UK distributors for the Pevekoil valves. Currently the worlds best solenoid valves for vegoil.

As described in the parts section, the fuel select valve is used in twin tank systems to select between the startup/ shutdown tank and the vegetable oil tank. They can be manually operated by the driver using a switch or a more sophisticated automated control can be used to select the fuel (eg a smartveg controller). The valves we stock have strong pedigrees in the automotive industry and are proven leaders in the vegetable oil twin-tank arena being used in thousands of conversions the world over.

The shop will be closed between 22nd Dec and 3rd Jan. Any orders received during this period will be posted when the shop opens on 3rd Jan 2012.

We have collaborated with Europecon to produce a scaled down version of the famous Pevekoil valve which we can exclusively offer for conversions of domestic vehicles (eg typical diesel cars). The valve is a scaled down version of the well regarded Pevekoil valve and has the similar high specification as you would expect from a valve designed for use in vegoil conversions.

Control pack for twin tank kits. Comprising Double Pole, Double Throw ON-OFF-ON switch and dual colour LED for controlling a pair of solenoid valves giving 3 modes.

Supplied with easy-to-follow wiring instructions to give the following operation.

• Diesel mode. With the switch in the O position (0 valves powered) both the supply valve and the return valve are unenergised (off). The fuel is drawn from and returned to the diesel tank. The LED is off.
• Vegoil mode. With the switch in the II position (2 valves powered) both the supply valve and the return valve are energised (on). The fuel is drawn from and returned to the vegoil tank. The LED is green
• Purge mode. With the switch in the I position (1 valve powered) the supply valve is unenergised (off) and the return valve energised (on). The fuel is drawn from the diesel tank and returned to the vegoil tank. The LED is red

Operating a solenoid powered twin tank kit with this control pack is as follows;

Run the vehicle in the diesel mode until the engine is warm. Switch to veg mode when the engine has reached operating temperature. Run in this mode for the rest of the journey. If the vehicle will be left to cool down before the next journey a purge is necessary. Run the vehicle for around 60 seconds in purge mode and then switch to diesel mode and run for a further 30 seconds. The vehicle is primed and ready for the next cold start.

The switch fits a cutout of 22mm wide and 30mm tall. this is the size of typical blanks in many vehicles. The photos show the switch installed into a blank space in a 2003 VW Polo.

The LED comes with a mounting bezel which pushes into an 8mm diameter hole. It is connected to a pair of flying leads and is surge protected. The LED gives good bright and clear indication of which mode the valves are in.

Motorised valves are driven into position by an electric motor and are stable in either position. They only draw power for a fraction of a second during transfer. A switch in the valve shuts off the motor when the valve reaches the selected position. Another switch within the valve provides automatic fuel gauge readout for the selected tank. Installation sheet included.

• Voltage: 12 Volts

• Max fuel pressure: 65 PSI
• Max current draw: 0.5 amps
• Recommended fuse: 10 amps
