Had a feller on a tagalong over the christmas hols who had a Jokeroo diesel on vegie oil.
He was getting waste oil from a chinese restaurant. Ony problen was, his car smelt like a dim sim shop on the move, and made everybody hungry for a while, then just plain nauseous.
I've not eaten chinese since!

I am not a fan of the vegi oil, just to many down sides, stuff gumming up etc. on the othere hand Bio is good stuff, but if you realy want to run vegi oil, blend it with diesel up to 50%. but every 3rd tank run just diesel to try and help degunk the internals, bio will degunk everything. Bio being a solvent, diesel being an oil.

Hi,

Has anyone in AULRO actually run their TD5 (or TDV6) on veggie oil, and if so for what period. I am assuming that Canola would be the cheapest, and to use it blended with diesel, as straight veg oil would be too thick, especially in Winter.
Any servicing issues associated with use?

Cheers..Bruiser:)

Couple of hundred bucks worth of solenoid valves, tube & wires for $2400. Not bad if you can get away with it.

Make yourself a bio reactor out of a 44 gallon drum and make proper diesel.

Plenty of info on the net. (journey forever etc)

I strongly advise not running the TD5 on other than diesel grade fuels...

goto advanced search enter my user name, biodiesel and all posts by user.

to summate

It can be done
It can be done with very little going wrong (well done to you if you pull it off)
If anything is off spec when you start the bio will make it worse.
when it does decide to let go it will be kind of spectacular and costly....

the deefer fuel pump issomething like $1100
each injector is $1400ish


running bio is a gamble on the TD5 but I still highly reccomend it for the lower and medium injection pressure engines like the 2.25, TDi's and the suzi 3.9 3.6 and 3.3

Hi Guys,
With the price of diesel fast approaching $2/Litre we are going to have to seriously look at alternatives.

Has anyone tried cheap (new) bulk canola oil mixed equally with mineral diesel in TD5?
Mixture should not be too thick for pump & injectors without pre heating.

cheers..Bruiser:)

You'll be hard pressed to find new canola or veg oil for less than $1.40 per litre. A 20 L drum is around $30, and as you aren't paying the relevant excises by using it as a fuel, you could get into trouble. Places like Campbell's Cash and Carry etc have been notified to treat large orders of oils with suspicion, and with all those places you need a customer account etc and usually ABN. Its not easy to just randomly buy quantities of canola/veg.

Yeah, could be used for a bomb!

I can't believe that Authorities can actually tell you how you how you can use vegetable oil. Whether you use it for deep frying or in a car engine is no business of govt. I don't even understand why there is an excise tax on fuel. Alcohol I can understand as this has always had an excise, as in early days was used as a currency substitute & hence a way of avoiding taxes.
The greedy buggers add 50 cents to every litre of fuel, and then GST of 10% on total price! I guarantee if enough people avoid paying the fuel excise by making Bio fuels, that Govt will find a way to tax this fuel. They may also tax Veg oils in quantities over 4 litres for same reason.
They are now trying to find a way of charging us for the water that we collect from our roofs in the expensive water tanks that they talked us into buying:mad:

Bruiser, you took the words out of my mouth. *****s me big time when the Govmt tries to scum more money out of the populace! What, if I had a water powered vehicle would they then try taxing me on water as fuel? No doubt some govnmt bean counter would try to!

Im very keen on making bio fuel, so it will be interesting to see what problems I run into when I get started.
