Can I run my Landy on Veggie Oil?

big_bad_stu

I am interested in running my Land Rover Series 3 on Veggie oil, it has the standard 2.25l diesel engine fitted, the only mods to the engine are TDi air filter and spin on oil filter.

How do I go about changing to veggie oil, do I need to make any mods etc. etc.

I know very little about this so I need your help.

Many thanks

Stewey.

Hi bud.

If it has the Lucas CAV pump which I think the 2.25L does then no.

You will have to fit a device to heat the oil as at normal temps the oil is to thick to lube the pump.

With all respect, if the car is a nail and you're not bothered about it then see how you go but if you cherrish it then fit a heat exchanger.

Have a look at the biodiesel thread.
It might answer some of your questions.
