Can I run my TD5 on a diesel/veg oil mix without alterations? And at what ratio?
I know some people who run their 200/300s on a 50/50 mix but I don't want to destroy my very nice engine.

TD5 is common rail injection, The fuel pumps are very high pressure, very sensitive and very expensive.
Not to mention the electronic injectors and Direct Injection...
I would not put veg oil anywhere near it.
Well made Bio Diesel however is fine.
