Google it, if it says common rail injection don't use veg oil unless you convert it to biodiesel

gets rid of the red dye, but not the chemical markers, so you still bounce if they check U

had to dip mate of mines home heating oil tank today,
not for my 200 doosel, but to try and unsieze 2t engines in 2 scooters we found sitting in a barn since 1962!!
left the bores full of heating oil for a few days
now then, his heating oil in NOT red dyed, costs 70p or less per litre, but has a smell of its own simular to parafin ?
the nearest smell I can remember being close to it is JET1 aviation fuel.
can anyone help me out as to just what this type of heating oil is please.
clear/not dyed/not very "thick" either????
not saying if I would ever mix it with bio or new pure veggie or sunflour oil would I

It's paraffin, has it's own chemical markers and I'm not sure a diesel engine would like it.

thanks red & datatek
was the first time I had come accross that type of fuel..
I have used "some" jet1 before in a diesel moondao, it went like a rocket, but must have been very raw-no lubrication properties... was quite some years ago now tho`
just hope it can release the pistons in those 2t engines.
fantastic barn finds both.
unsed since 1962 one of them, 1960 the other.
for those easily bored,
one was a durkopp Diana 200cc scooter with hand built watsonian sidecar on it from new,
the other was even more wierd, was a cyclemaster built "piatti" scooter.
both have full history & documentation from new, all the new owners books/leaflets/info, both have orignal log books.
both have "very good" reg numbers too.
not my purchases, but my son has one, his mate the other,
but I spent hours cleaning/jet washing them, prepping them for possible engine start one day this week.

I had a Durkopp Diana, brilliant piece of kit, the foot operated gearshift was really slick no need to shut the throttle on upshifts, with a bit of tuning it went like stink

I had 2 when I was just 16 !!
one was a propper mod scooter with 13 all working lucas flame thrower & the like spots on the front, the other was a propper cut down/skelly rat look.
I had machined off the starter/generator & the cooling fan, took off the engine cooling case, just left it to open air cooling, had a 12 battery one side & gallon can the other, the frame cut to nothing,
went like fook with rebuilt/tuned motor..
got a vespa same as now, tuned but still got leccy start this time
that quite quick too
was into scooters years before I learned to love Landies..
horses for courses eh..
