sunflower oil

[Smegg]

hi has anybody had any trouble running on sunflower or mod soya oil.

Sunflower burns too hot I seem to remember, leave it. Rapeseed is good though,:thumbs
Dont know what M.O.D soya is,?!

I did some tests on sunflower and rapeseed oil last winter, I found the sunflower started to wax at 0c and caused lumpy running at 50% mix with derv whilst the rapeseed was ok.

I have been using ASDA vegi oil but the cost of it is more than derv now so I am not using it. regards bri

I'm just sticking to diesel at the moment as it is cold, SVO is expensive, and I have cut my weekly mileage by about 140 miles. Though I have run Sunflower and Rape Seed at 100% when the price was right:thumb2

Had trouble in these sort of temps last year, over did it with the veg oil and it wouldn't start. Once it was warmed up and running it was fine though.

Off to play in the snow later and tomorrow :clap:clap

just to agree my mav doesnt like sunflower oil, nor soya would not buy again, runs to lumpy.....runs fine on rapseed, when cheaper than diesel. well would run when the new battery arrives still waiting......still waiting...............door bell........nope......still waiting.....

here me thinking its KTC oil

 

[supergnome]

Think there's 2 sorts of KTC one mod soya other rapeseed. (Different colour tins.) Both should be ok but rapeseed is a known one to run well.
