All this cheap fuel

Been doing it since I got the Disco and I've had that 12 years or more ...

I also used old engine oil, used cooking oil, 2 stroke oil, hydraulic oil, all sorts of sh!tty stuff, mostly, but not always, filtered through a drainpipe stuffed with nylon 'scrubbers' and charcoal! When I had to clear a shed I also used paraffin, white spirits, turps, all sorts, mixed in with diesel of course, but if it was combustible and liquid it went in the tank .. I had lots of paint too, but didn't use that .. :)

Only bought the 90 in Feb, but that's now using veg with no ill effects.

Search the forum, many, many people use it .. :)
 
I've tried looking into this but it does my head in with so many different threads. Couldn't find the difinitive answer....will my 02 TD5 Disco 2 run on veggie oil? If anyone could answer that i'd leave them something in my will if I had anything to leave.

Doesn't need pre-mixing or any other bullsh!t, just pour 'em in .. they mix in the tank! This was what I did in the Disco 300 Tdi as well

And look what happened to that :eek: Out of all the people I know using the "off the back of a lorry" 20 litre oil drums, 50% of them have lost their landy's in fords... those kind of statistics are way too high for me to risk it :dance:

I wouldn't do it with anything newer than 300Tdi ... though Biodiesel is supposed to be OK.

Basically older engines and, more importantly, older fuel delivery systems should be OK .. anything using a computer and having loads of sensors and things I'd steer clear of and use 'proper' fuels .. :)

If it's 300tdi engine or before (pretty much pre 1998 unless ex mod) you should be ok.

I have ran all my previous landys on various mixes of veg oil but was warned not to use any veg with anti foaming agents but that seems to work as well going by others on here.

not all oil has anti foaming agents in them, Mostly the restaurants use anti foaming stuff as it reduces oil fires in chip fryers
