If you had a normally aspirated 2.5 diesel defender, do you reckon you could run it on pure veggy oil? Or would some additive be required even for this simple engine?
Well shotgun ,i would say no at 100% you would block yer filters plus shag out the injectors and glaze yer pistons also pure vedg can shag seals in older type motors, it would be far better to mix it ,or if you wanna gothe 100% route then convert it to bio and fit a heat exchanger,hope this clears it. . .ShotgunDrew said:If you had a normally aspirated 2.5 diesel defender, do you reckon you could run it on pure veggy oil?

oh forgot ta say running at 35% and no problems seems to run better,little bit of chip shop smell but not that noticable. . .ming said:Apdate for any that are intrested,feel i need to make this bit very clear though, having read the nije thread on running on sump oil , dont even think about it, its true i'm running on 35% mix chip shop oil , but and this is a big butt i,m filtering it too 10 microns and i'm doing a bio reactor and washing all water out of the chip shop oil, never just stick it in yer tank as you will be asking for trouble, pure vedg oil from the shops is ok up to 30% ,the procedures of my own mix i will post after my tests have proved no problems,chips anyone. . .
