bio diesel

I have no experience of bio diesel or WVO. I chuck SVO straight into the tank with a bit of diesel/petrol and drive about smelling like a chip shop so am quite obviously not qualified to comment...

... but.. Before you consider whether its worth investing in equipment to make your own bio diesel, have you managed to source a regular supply of WVO? There are lots of people doing it that will have arrangements with local commercial Spammy spam spam spam, no thank you, man. and many places are contractually obliged to return the oil to their suppliers. More competition than maybe you'd expect.

Hi, Iv got a 1990 p100 1.8td, I run it on 40% new cooling oil and 60% diesel, it runs better and quiter than on straight diesel, and i don't care if I'm only saving 10p a litre as long as I'm getting away with something, were taxed in to the work house in this country, so if i can get away with anything i will.anyway, a saving of 10p a litre is 2 litres to a packet of Rich Tea!!

all i know is i cant run a laguna dci on it

They really don't like it, I have one to repair (my old one) due to it being run on Bio.

if you do run on bio its not good to ur fuel pump can mess up ur seals it has on my dads motors he ruined a pug 405 1.9td shogun 2.5td transit 2.5 td in the pssed 2 years tried it in my 1,9d xsara it didnt not start to goodand was down on power it messed up the heater plugs the the mrs pug 2.1td 406 to for the saving of a few pence but that was neet bio he now runs a 1.9td a4 on 40% bio 40% diesel and 20% cooling oil and that seems to go well but cost a bit to make and is messy and you get a lot off waste too but good luck

I ran a 306 for 50k on svo and a 406 on svo for 24k.

The XUDte is generally fine with veg oil. But the lucas pump suffers seizure after a while, as the oil journals for lubrication are too narrow for the thicker veg oil. The lucas pump will run merrily with no apparent problems until bang! I swapped my lucas pump for a bosch pump.

Bosch pumps are generally fine on veg oil, but do sometimes burst a seal. Quite rare though. I altered the point of injection timing using a specialist dial gauge, installed a tiger loop to reduce the chance of air being sucked in and had different nozzles fitted to the injectors and pop tested by an expert.

Had no bother with either!

The saving was significant as the svo from Makro ranged from £11 to £16 for 20 litres. Using wvo would have required more time, but would have yielded a bigger saving.

red. cheaper than bio diesel, no conversion, no chemicals.

if the cars cheap enough you can afford to get caught as they only take the car off you if and/or when you get caught.

If you fit a tank under the rear seat and leave the standard tank in and ever get dipped then they find nothing...

problem is with red it stinks , if you know the smell youll smell it easy, a little oil in the tank looses the smell,

only other thing is if they cant dip you its unlikely but they have been known to pop a pipe off the filter,.

I looked into making Bio but thats as far as it went as it seems its too easy to get it wrong. Just get an older diesel with a bosch pump and put your WVO in that.
