Hello again

Just wondering what mods are needed to run my 200Tdi RRC on cooking oil?  Also will it run on new and/or used oil? 8-[ 8-[

Thanks

Used oil brings it's own problems, heating veh oil creates free fatty acids, I can't remember why they arte bad though :doh:

Hello All,

I've never been a fan of using cooking oil,
if the engine was supposed to run on cooking oil it would have been designed to do so!

A fellow club member has been running on cooking oil and it leaves some deposits that are not left by deisel.
I've used oil in various mechanical applications world wide and found hardened depostits that cause porblems.

When I'm behind the ccoking oil burner it smells like a chippy!

I'm happy to run my 300 Tdi on what it was designed for.

But each to their own.

Ron, LLROC.

It was! Rudolf Diesel designed what is now known as the Diesel engine to run on Peanut oil!!

It was the petrochemical companies that got us onto heavy oil!
