It's safe on the Bosh pump but it damages the seals I think on the Zexcels.
You will get more advice on this i'm sure, John :thumb2

Sling it in mate!!!!!!!!

I've ran my 96' Maverick (Zexel) and '04 Terrano on Waste Oil, New Oil and at the moment homemade BioDiesel that I'm making using waste oil from various restaurants and take aways :thumb2

Learning from past problems, and this is only my opinion, I have removed the OEM fuel filter setup as I like to see whats going on in my filters I use clear plastic bulb ones (5 Microns) and replace the feed and return lines with clear food grade PVC pipe (I have some pre cut lengths for sale if you are interested)

I've ran pure oil straight out of the 20l tins down to temps of about 3-4 degrees before you see a noticeable behavior difference in idle at cold etc and sluggishness, at this point I usually just throw some Diesel/Petrol in but this year I'm going to try and Winterize my BioDiesel the right way with additives :thumb2

I just used to use veggie oil straight from the bottle but don't know how much it is in France

To be Honest unless you can fined a big cash and carry where you can buy in bulk,it's cheaper to use diesel here,It's only 1.07€ Lt at our E Leclurc about 80p Lt :augie

I thought that might be the case

Good afternoon to you

Not seen many of these beasts down here then I come out of work and someone has parked next to me in one. I am sure they are flirting lol

Fuel light came on this morning on the way to work so I am happy with that one tank a week!! Any ideas how many gallons are left when the light comes on? Is it the standard 1 gallon??

yes about 5 ltrs but not wise to run till the light comes on as any debris in the tank will be drawn to the pick up, also on a hill you may draw air, Rick

 

[Kevrob9]

I will bare that in mind thanks for the info
