Hello to all

I've got two going Land Rovers, A 1982 series 3 stage 1 and a 1972 series 2a .
The stage 1 has the Isuzu 3.9 litre diesel engine, which was a factory option in Australia, it has an aluminium drop side tray, and I have converted it to run on waste vegetable oil. Land Rovers with the Isuzu diesel are very popular here with farmers and proffessional fishermen.The Australian army has over 3,000 1984 models, in 4x4 and 6x6 versions.
The series 2a also has an aluminium tray back, I bought it with a Holden 186 motor fitted, but I hope to fit it with an Isuzu 3.6 litre diesel engine, which I picked up for a song last year. I was playing with the idea to fit it with early Range Rover running gear, that's the plan at present. This one will also be converted to run on vegetable oil. I will be making a camper back for it for travelling.
I've also got a 1972 series 2a station waggon with a Holden motor and a Fairey overdrive, I got this one for spare parts.

Hi & welcome Aussieron.

Vegetable oil! Are you serious? Do you need to fit a "calorific converter"..........Doh! Seriously though, I'm intrigued, is this a common conversion? What are the upsides & downsides, what does it do performance wise?

Best,
Marcus.

Marcus, I am serious, diesel engines will run on vegetable oil, when Rudolph Diesel exhibited his diesel engine at the Paris Show he ran it on peanut oil.
It's a fairly simple conversion really, you just need a dual system so you start on diesel, when the engine and the vegetable oil warm up you switch over to vegetable oil, I left a thread in the Discovery forum you might want to look at. I found my Land Rover runs quieter and has the same power and fuel economy as diesel, and the nitrous oxide emissions are halved.
Also it doesn't blow any smoke.
