Veg oil

(1/7) > >>

spy:
I have heard it mentioned a few times and im fascinated!  Come on, how many of you run on veg oil?  I have had a flick round and read a few sites.  

Anyone run a 200tdi on veg oil? What i want to know is have you had a conversion or do you just use part veg oil?  How long have u ran on it without any grief?  Is a heated filter worth bothering with?  Do you use waste or supermarket oil?  How much grief is the paperwork? ;)
 
Any info would be gratefuly received!


Cheers,



Mike

Bob tried 'tax paid' used veg oil from a local supplier (takes the guess work and paper work out of running on veg oil).

Yep it was cheaper, about a third less (tax paid), but the mpg went down by over a third.  Net result it cost us more to run on the veg oil than on diesel.

Might be different if you splash out on extra filter systems etc, but, that cost money and how long will it take you to recuperate the costs?

don't run it on veg oil,yeah sure you get a cheap fuel,lighter tax.but also a shorter engine life,near dam impossible cold morning starting....there are pro's and cons for this arguement as long as your arm.but the question is how much do you like your engine!
