306 1997 Turbo Diesel 50/50 Diesel Veg Oil

Hi, is it possible to run my 1997 Peugeot Turbo 306 Diesel on a mix of
diesel and veg oil?
Is so, what mix is the best? The engine has done 110000 miles and runs
great. It has a CAt conerter on it but is not HDI (i.e. common diesel
rail). Thanks.

 

Do a google on veggie oil. Seems to be planty of people doing it. Only
problem appears to be what fuel pump is fitted.

Thanks....good reply... I`ll do the search ...............

 

There is a lot of confusion over the term "veggie oil".
Some types of Bio-Diesel contain chemicals which attack rubber, and thus
some types of seals in the injector pumps.
If you are talking of using Straight Vegetable Oil, as in rape seed oil or
similar, then this does not apply. What does apply is the higher viscosity
of the oil, which might make cold starting on colder days very difficult if
you use too high a concentration. SVO has a higher lubrication value than
diesel, so that acts in your favour provided the concentration is not too
high again.
