As above really. I have a Toyota LandCruiser KZL70 (3.0l turbo) and was wondering how well they run on veg and if anyone else here is running their 70 on veg? Any info would be appreciated.

Ive got feelers out in the local area looking for a supply of WVO and would like to do a twin tank setup in the long run.

I think I once read that the LC KZJ70 3.0 ltr had a few more elec bits to it compared to the 3.0ltr Smurf engine, so it wasn't a good veg oil engine. Either that or I dreamt it... which is probably more like it!

I would have thought that the smurf would have more lecky bits than the cruiser tbh.

I hope not anyway because Id really like to get it running on veg.

If... you have the same engine as a Colorado, then I'm not sure you can.

As far as I know its different. The KZJ70 has the 1KZ-T engine and the Colorado has the 1KZ-TE (IIRC) engine which is the same block but with more lecky bits than the KZJ70.

I hope so. Anyone know the engine number for a 3.0l surf?

There must be someone who has tried running a KZJ70 on veg on here?
