veggie oil

[norrie]

hi i have a 2000 terrano how can i tell if i can use veggie oil thanks

[(RIP) PLANK]

i started a thread on this a few days ago and i'm still lost

[lacroupade]

Theres a dozen lengthy threads on the subject and the answer is yes - just throw it in.

50/50 SVO to diesel in summer is safe as houses, less or 100% diesel in winter.

TERRANOII-2,7 D TURBO/1996-05/ZD30/4cyl./2998ccm/113kW/154PS/BHP/3600min-1/BOSCH KIKI/RP/2-Tank-SE2023

it says "2-Tank-Kit" if i have picked it up right in other threads is that you can get away with SVO as long as you mix it and not go 100% as it must be a problem with starting, my mate has a Disco and it advises a 2-tank system he went from 50/50 and had no bother and running better then ever so he stopped putting diesel in and so in the end it was 100% and running great but the next morning it was cold and had problems starting so he said putting a tenner of diesel does the trick.

im running 100% bio with no problems and my mate has a 2000 model and he is on 100%, i reckon put it in and enjoy getting one over the treasury for a change.

Iceman thats the reality.

Two-tank kits might be a good idea if you want to run 100% SVO all year round. Other than that, 50/50 is a no-brainer in the 2.7.

anything marked 'vegetable oil' is fine. I've been using pure sunflower oil from a 1000-litre IBC and its a dream....

Dont be so faceitious , people are just making sure before they do the right or wrong thing , simples

I must say took me ages to "do it"...

[makeitfit]

It's obviously a popular subject .
I think the basics are lost in some of the miss nomers about the place.
Essentialy VEG OIL, ie Rapeseed, Sunflower, can be added to your diesel at a very safe mix of 50-50 (If your a bit meaner like me , you can go pretty much full veggie in the summer, but may have a lumpy start)
BIO FUEL of variuos types at the garage or from specialists in 1000 ltr IBCs is good to go as is INSTEAD of diesel My favourite
No running issues other than you'll probably need to cheange your filters after the first few tank fulls, after that you're done
Enjoy

Dont blame them but the answers are already out there and as youll see theres still a lot of opinion rather than science
