anyone running a trooper 3.0 on rapseed oil?  If so have you converted or are you just running a mix?

I run a 3.1 BIGHORN on a 70/30 mix of vegetable oil, had to change fuel filter after 300 miles other than that no problems.                 Brian                          :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I run my 2.8TDI on about 70/30 mix too, bit sluggish when cold but once it warms up its great :afro:

Cheers

Might be dodgy on a 3 litre 16 valve thay are notoriuos for injector problems leading to dribbles, over full sump, run on engine oil followed by big bang and a huge bill to replace !!

My advice leave well alone and suffer the bill for fuel, not sure if it has a Bosch injection pump either ?
