    2.25 diesel on veg oil

    Its not usually done because as others said, the lucas CAV pump uses the diesel to lubricate it self, veg oil is too thick to lubricate it, so it basically works untill something snaps or ceases!!! And as its something like £400 for a new pump, I dont think its worth the risk !!!
