Ok, never tried veg oil before, I have 2 litres of it in a deep SPAM frier and a Daihatsu Fourtrak, what can I do to the 2 litres of WVO to make my engine run?

leave the oil in a pop bottle for about 3 weeks to settle out, then filter the stuff off the top through a filter sock to at least 2 microns then pour it ionto your fuel tank.

to be honest its not realy worth the hastle for 2 litres of fuel.

Could be the start of something bigger. Just starting. Fourtrak engine will be fine yeah? 2.8 turbo diesel?

i have no idea about the fourtrack engine, most direct injection diesels are okay aslong as its a bosch fuel pump and you run no more than 50% oil in with your diesel, youll want to use less in the cold temps though as starting will be effected, idealy you want a dual tank setup so you can switch pver to wvo once then engine is warm.

The fourtrak engine is one of the best engines to run on Veg.

Fourtrak engine is excellent for veg, its almost impossible to kill one with veg, I've been trying for about 20,000 miles.....

Mine is starting pretty well on 100% rapeseed oil at the moment, although it starts much better if I use the twin tank system and start on diesel!
