Vegetable oil

Postby sc_BK » Mon Oct 30, 2006 2:41 am

What is it with this stuff? Someone told me you have to mix it with another chamical before you can use it in a diesel engine? Also is there any drawbacks to using it, ie worse peformance/ extra engine wear?

Just after a bit of personal advice before I dive into google.



(BTW this is for an "off road" deisel engine, I aint trying to avoid tax.....honest :P :twisted: )

I hear you can use it in older diesals without any problem but in a high pressure injection pump like the di i would,nt even try, as this i think would be asking for trouble however its only my thinking on this, your thoughts :roll:
Drive it like you stole it
