Running a diesel on veg oil

<< < (2/2)

HiFonics:
I have seen some other posts on this and the verdict was you should run with more than 5% Veg Oil in Landrover. Cant remember what engine they were on about but it hardly seems worth bothering at that percentage. Would make my 17mpg more agreeable though  :D

strapping young lad:
rapeseed oil eh?


saw acres of the stuff going to driffield the other week!

hmm wonder if a chat to the farmer and a deal could make a niche in the market!  :wink:

davidlandy:
The farmers already know!  - they use rapeseed to make Biodiesel which is now being sold in Tescos/sainsburys

the reason that the mix is 5% is because that is the amount you need to make the emissions better, go above that and they dont get any better I'm told.   Also 5% makes the fuel sustainable - if we went 100% all the farms wouldnt be able to grow enough to keep up!

karloss:
They will also run on neat cable oil. And, hydraulic oil if it's diluted with parrafin. Not that I've ever tried Mr Blair. :twisted:
