red mav was ok on it. bosch
but the r3m wasn't keen on it. tried kerro in both too .(off road of course ) but red one dont know it felt a bit dry if you know what i mean , ran ok and fast , just more engine slight rattles - like pinking the r3m didnt like kerro at all the veg oil seemed to reduce the slight rattles - pinking in both . pauls old auto i have . he used to run it on veg oil it was ok , seemed a bit sluggish at the time - but as it was an auto could have been the gearing . i run it on deisel fast as F love it to bits . just wont tow the weights id like to think the way forward on these in my oppinion , only use oil on bosch pumps . and use an old fuel heater of a pug or change your rad for and automatic one , this has an oil heater in the rad. this will thin your cooking oil and prevent wear on the pump or you could of course add petrol to your cooking oil to thin it and give it a little more bang . other methods from what im reading on the subject . add meths for extra flash/ bang petrol , nos , ideally you want to increase the flash point of the fuels , so more of it burns faster and cleaner. more bang = more fun i understand if you could get steam into the air supply or water emulsified into the fuel really well that give the best bang for your money. you will notice just before head gasket failure cars run really well likely caused by steam entering the cylinders. somehow steam has a massively better flash point to clean air. obviously you need to regulate it and do your sums first |

I have a small oil heater if anyone wants to make an offer.
Same as this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SVO-WVO-DIESEL...item414e609458 only he fits cheap glow plugs to his, fitted Lucas plus heat sink compound for efficiency works a treat |
