veg oil

from now on will stick to cooking chips in it.
recently had some running probs with my 2.7 tdi.after a long winded trail and error i found out that it was my injector pump that had had it.my brother in law removed and stripped it for me(deisel fitter for 20 years)he showed me the gunk that had got through the filter into the pump.made me think twice about running it on veg oil.the most i put in was 30% with derv.mine is the hitachi maf set up if that helps anyone out.

Veg oil

Zippy,
Back in this tread is a web link to dieselveg.com...have you had a good look at the info on the site? I too was concerned that my valuable truck would not like the WVO so was looking at Biodiesel....well forget that, methanol, heat, caustic soda, kids...things don’t mix. I bought one of these Dieselveg kits, with everything in it that you need, and run, in summer, 100% WVO & 80:20 WVOino in winter on the dual tank system. With the dual tank system the oil goes through a heat exchanger in the engine bay so resolves most of the viscosity issues....

OK I have had to rebuild my head due to an overheating problem when I bought the car but so far I've done a good number of miles on WVO, filtered to 1 micron with the best run giving 3000 miles to a tank of dino.
If you have access to WVO give the guys at Dieselveg a call, they'll tell you if your engine pump is suitable, they seam to have an inexhaustible database, and a lot of experience..

I run on 40% svo one fill and full diesel next fill. No problems over just under 2000 miles (that I'm aware of) just completed 200 miles towing a large caravan on the 40/60 mix ran sweet as. (apart from the smell of savoury cooking :lol: )

Not far off Dave... Costco! went to return an item and pick up some doormats so should have come out in profit but somehow £160 later... Still, wont need dishwasher tablets for about 12 months and sorted a few christmas presents at the same time.. :smile:

As far as I know it will, it is fitted with a Bosch VP30 injection pump a close relative to the VP37 pump as fitted to the 2.7tdi sharing the same pumping system it just has an ecu fitted on top.
