not reving

Hi, i have a 1990 disco 200tdi. it has been run on chip fat oil by the person who had it before me, when i rev it it revs to about 3000rpm then  starts to die down to about 2000rpm and it kicks out loads of blue smoke. is this just because it is running on chip fat oil or is something broke?

Cheers,
Nick

Frankie-Boy:

Top the tank up with clean diesel to dilute the cooking oil and change the fuel filter, that'll probably do the job, I don't think its anything serious.

muddymud:
i have taken as much of the chip stuff out and the fuel guage is reading below the red so will top it up with 25L of diesel and i think i should have a filter!

is it ok to run it on red diesel? with no modifications?

Cheers

 Q.  is it ok to run on red diesel without mods.

 A.  Only if you fancy seeing the motor headed for the nearest crusher.

 Plenty of spot checks on fuel recently, get caught with red in the tank, and they impound the vehicle, then crush it. Not to mention the hefty fine for both the driver and suplier.

Unless its not on public roads.  On private land its fine, just ensure there is NO red in when its on the road.

Red diesel is no different to white diesel apart from the red die.
