Hi all
New to this site but had my P38 pig for a while now.
Having trawled the net looking for info on veg oil conversions and finding very little,(loads on bmw325tds and an omega, which is doing what mine is on the oil) I decided to undertake the conversion myself and is now rigged up with a 2-tank setup.
Good points: 30quid per 40litres £10+savings
40litres gets me just shy of 300miles which is about a third
more than on diesel
the smell!
Bad point: Kack idle!
Fire it up on diesel then switch over to veg when hot then it's almost like a missfire. Revs up fine drives fine but pops away like a tractor at idle! Tank pump modified to handle veg so pressure to injection pump good, leak off pipes changed too.
The chap who converted his omega is having same issue.
Has anyone converted their p38 to oil and what results did they get?
I have found a diesel expert who carries out 'internal modifications' to injection pump but not quite sure what this will be. has anyone gone down this route?
Any advice or info apprieciated
