veggie oil ?
the problem at the moment with veggie fuels is there are so many permutations about and so many variables the first is what is the base oil ie rapeseed, sunflower, peanut or even coconut then you have the choice of new or used then you have the various ways of using it , neat or basic modified or fully modified to bio diesel so all this leads to a plethora of choices to make and each of those choices seems to lead to even more questions such as if you decide to use neat oil will your engine need converting and if so which style of conversion to use and which supplier to do the conversion
i suppose this is why i havent tried veggie in my sedona (as yet) plus it is driven mainly by my wife on short journeys so if i carried out any experiments it would have to be when the car is used on longer journeys to get some reasonable comparisons but the experiments i carried out using a 2.5 peugeot engine i used fresh rapeseed oil thinned with white spirit with millers diesel power plus added mixed with 2 thirds diesel the only problem was that sometimes it would white smoke but a quick thrash up the test track would blow it clear
for info on brew your own try bio-power and it seems the main supplier of conversions is an outfit called elsbet (not sure of the spelling)
best of luck glenn
