Veg oil
Damonski:
There was an article in one of the Land Rover mags with everything you need to know on veggy oil, says you start the engine on Diesel and switch it off on diesel and switch to the veggy oil whilst the engine has warmed up.
Quite an interesting read....

--- Quote from: "jaws" ---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!

Yeah I read some info somewhere that said the Yanks had been running trials with it and it had actually increased engine life.

it must be like using low octain (campared to petrol) so if it dosent burn as good, the engine will run cooler and less wear on internals as its not producing the same power ??
