The only bad thing is it has to be used and needs to 3ml of that thing, plus you need to leave it for a week, im sorry, but thats just a waste of time.
@InSaNeNuKeBoY Why? Waste of time, which you would otherwise have to spend at work to make the money to pay for the diesel.. I haven't done the maths and of cause it depends on how much you earn pr. hour of work. If you only make 3 pence and hour it will work out brilliantly, if you make 100 quid an hour it will probably be cheaper to run it on normal diesel and then work a bit more.
@HotpointForever Any kind of vegetable oil will work.Make sure your car has a bosch fuel pump.Lucas pumps are to wimpy.Used engine oil works also.But you need to filter it first.
Only really to be tried on an old skool diesel, i.e the 1970's mercedes 4 and 5 cylinder as fitted to w123, also peugeots indenor as fitted to 504s, sierras, granadas and LDV 400 is ok on it. I owned one of these volvos with the VW LT d24t engine, that did many trouble free miles on veg. some more modern stuff is ok but there WILL be issues with the EGR valve if you have one and anything with a lucas injector pump will die very quickly on veg.
@blackrockgroup i have seen diesel engines run ethanol before. their are even some videos on You Tube. ethanol can be used in any internal combustion engine. it may need modifying, but it is possible.
@switchgrassfuel you would need to modify it to a petrol lol. Ethanol is not oily enugh and is to flamable. Ethanol would stop compression as it burns to quickly making it useless
@blackrockgroup first off ethanol burns slower than diesel. you do use more because it has less btu than gas or diesel. but it can be compressed even more than diesel. i think when ADM ran their diesel trucks on ethanol they raised the compression from 18 to 23 or something like that. i am not shire on all of the stats because i don't have them in front of me right now. i am aware that you loose efficiency with ethanol. but you can run ethanol in a diesel engine. i have seen tractors do it also.
my volvo has also no problem with it. 80:20 Veggi:diesel and it runs easily in summer. but 1,39€ for "fresh" vegetable oil and 1,43€ for diesel isn´t profitable...till the Liter Diesel goes up to 1,49 and more

this is bullshit. it doesnt work. i used it on my 1999 ford mondeo. first i got 20 litres used veg oil from chip shop. i then filtered it as shown on video using a cleaning cloth.
i added kerosine and left it standing for 7 days.
i then used it in my car. every time i was driving it smelt badly of kersonene ! after 3 days, the car became sluggish. after a week the fuel pump in the car stopped working !! my car got messed by the veg oil.
i used a non-kerosene based solvent (white spirit in fact ) . but still smelt of kerosene. fuel pump got damaged. i think this works on certain older cars not all cars

You get used oil because new unused stuff is EXPENSIVE. And yes, it does work. Don't even need to add anything if you're in warm weather. Stir that crap so it can mix in everywhere. My goodness, knows his finances but not anything about the process.
while biodiesel itself works fairly ok, it's being marketed by false claims. we finns got it by promising that it would hit the stations by considerably lower prices. what was the truth? its equal to most expensive option, and the mileage is slightly worse than any of the options. then theres the wear to regular engines and so on. tl;dr, biofuels might be an option but theres lot of things that they're not telling us. all hail eco-fascism.
I've never owned a diesel before, could someone please explain to me what Jeremy meant by having to bleed the system first? Does he mean every time you fill it up?
@gunner49061 Thank you for your response. If there's no fuel in the system, what do you bleed? How long does it take? And is it something an average person can do or does it have to be a mechanic?
@NMbarrassment You only bleed the fuel system when you run out of fuel, which causes that air to get into the fuel lines. All you have to do is to disconnect the fuel lines that go to the combustion chambers, crank the engine, and wait for fuel to come out. Right there you stop cranking the engine, and connect the lines again and is ready to go. Some vehicles even have a little hand pump to bleed the system, it is used mostly when replacing the fuel filters which also puts air in the system.
@NMbarrassment Also, just to clarify, bleeding something means to get rid of the air. You do it to hydraulic systems in certain machines, you do it to your break system after replacing certain components (no just while replacing pads and calipers), and you do it to your fuel system when air got into the fuel lines because you allowed the fuel tank to run dry.

@lukerobin01, clue is in the name mate, all diesels are fuel injected be it IDI or DI but it still is fuel injection, I own a 306 with the xud9te in it and it has an injection pump and injectors,

The issue with this fuels is not if it works or not, the issues is that most likely will ruin your car on the long run. I was a mechanic for the USAF and I can tel you from personal experience that running on anything else besides regular low sulfur diesel will ruin your engine. The first thing it does is to clog your EGR valve, then it slowly ruins your catalytic converter, and it will take out some O2 sensors along the way. I am up for alternative fuels, but this oils are just not meant to be
Thats why you don't use veg oil on modern diesels like they said.
My old Peugeot has none of things you said, but there are other things to look out for, like oil contamination, if your oil level rises all the time then it's time to mix with regular disesl.
@Vallecaucanisimo Just get an old Peugeot diesel like a 205. No 02 sensors, no catalytic converter and I've not heard of an EGR valve on them although I may be mistaken by that. The biggest problem I've heared is that many fuel pumps can not take it so you have to mix.
@fonzi0was0cool Sorry dude, there is no way to avoid it...there are vehicles that do better than others of course, but on the long run it could cause mechanical problems. Now, that is not to say that your engine will break, but the emission control components might and it will cause problems along the way. We used to run trucks on 20% Bio-diesel, which come from other sources and it still causes problems. Now, is not something that will happen over night on in a year, but it will eventually.
@fonzi0was0cool Also, have in mind that mixing fuels might not be the best thing for your car, specially diesel. You have to make sure they are from the same quality and cetane rating. the one thing that always pisses me off about alternative fuels is that they deliver less power and therefore you use more fuel which defeats the purpose of using them. You could do that mileage test your self and you will see what I mean. The crappy part also is that in some areas all you can find is bio-diesel.
@tonycavez Not sure what you are talking about, I did not get a single word of what you said. You have and old truck with no emission control components that works fine with the stuff, it does not mean that all older trucks will work the same. Newer trucks require low sulfur diesel otherwise you will ruin your injection pump, I don't think you even know what an EGR is and why it gets stuck with Bio-diesel. Some older diesel trucks will run fine with any diesel-like fuel, but most do not.
@Vallecaucanisimo listen dude I have been a mechanic for 36 years I can teach you a thing or two about an egr valve ,no car requires low sulfer diesel its only for anti polution purposes,besides the mercedes 300sd I also own a GMC 6.5 diesel with a computer controlled fuel injected pump and it does have an EGR and runs just fine on wvo
@tonycavez Well man, I have been a mechanic too you know and I can tell you from personal experience that Bio-Diesel will clog your EGR valve. And yes, low sulfur diesel was created with the intent of reducing emissions, how ever newer cars do require it. If not used damage to the fuel pump components could occur. Older cars do not require but newer than 2008 do. Also, what you fail to realize is that the EGR technology is not the same for a 1995 than a 2008.
@tonycavez Now, have in mind that I am not saying that your truck will run like crap, but it is very likely that there is heavy carbon deposits in your exhaust system due to the use of certain alternative fuels, such as Bio-Diesel. I cannot tell you how many EGRs I have replaced because they got stuck due to the high carbon built up. It is not something that will happen over night but it will happen after a year or two.
@Vallecaucanisimo oh please give me a break biofuels are cleaner than petro fuels the glicerine left over from making biodiesel is used to make soap , e100 you could almost drink, it ' s just 100 proof moonshine , my snowblower and my wifes subaru are running on e85 and no modifications try it sometime before you make comments
@tonycavez I am sorry but you are the one who needs to give me a break, If you read my comments I am all up for saving the environment, however this fuels are not the solution, they are not even helping since they raise food prices. Now, about out discussion, I mentioned to you that I was a mechanic right? well I happen to be part of the USAF and we have LARGE fleet of vehicles. We have our own fuel pump on base for our government vehicles. Our Diesel supply has 20% Bio-Diesel mixed in it.
@tonycavez From experience, in our big ass fleet of diesel trucks, Bio-Diesel tents to deposit a heavy carbon layer in the manifolds and exhaust system. The first thing to go out is usually the EGR as it can't open and close due to the junk that the Bio-Diesel leaves. I have tested this, the fuel works but it has issues. I am not just telling you what I think, I am telling you what I have seen. I understand that you have no issues in your trucks. Well good for you but I can't recommend the stuff
@tonycavez I don't mean to be an asshole but you strike me as a very old school mechanic who still thinks Diesels run on anything, which is pretty ignorant if you ask me. I can see you doing the same thing our drivers do in the flight line, which is putting Jet Fuel in the diesel truck thinking it will be OK. Some Diesel trucks have engines that allow for that but in newer ones that is a rare thing.
bio diesel does tend to leave more deposits on injectors etc and the land needed to grow biodiesel crops is land that could be used for food so it pushes price up.
we need a bio diesel crop that will grow anywhere; the opium poppy grows anywhere- opium as a fuel!!!
@fonzi0was0cool I don't really have a recommendation for you other than using straight high quality diesel engine, keeping up with maintenance, and drive your car properly. I am a huge fan making things better for the environment but in my opinion this fuels do not deliver the way they should. Somebody else might disagree and that is OK too, but since you are asking me that is all I can tell you my friend. However be glad to have a diesel! it is has great mileage regardless of the fuel you use.
By the way you need to make biodiesel properly, google it. Most modern diesel engines will have fuel pump/injector problems on this stuff after some weeks or months. Older engines without fuel injectors will run fine on this stuff though, probably.
@jarrus464 There is. Indirect Injection instead of fuel injected. The older PSA XUD engines are of indirect direction so they can run it fine. Try it on a later PSA HDi engine which is fuel injected and you'll have problems.
@Octavideoz WTF? LOL when heated it doesn't magically give you worse cholesterol, it doesn't give you more calories than it being cold, it's only the food that gives you that, that it's cooked in.
@david1991rules4life when any oil is heated the fats get damaged, polyunsaturates are particularly vulnerable. It can decrease particle size of ldl which causes artery plaque.
this is why i'll be getting a series 3 landy, which is also road tax exempt due to its age. so in a nut shell thats free tax disc and very cheap fuel. nice
Its better then diesel it isnt rocket science to figure it out i run oil myself, dont knock what you havnt tried that dosnt mean go put it in a new Audi Tdi an clogg the injectors. People are so scared of change its amazing how we all follow like sheep except for some of us who have a brain an knowledge.
he says 3ml for 97mls of oil ,,well the oil looks around 450mls in the cup and jeremy empties it to the beaker so 3mls in the is not right !! isnt it?
when the oil runs out in the Middle East, they'd better start growing huge fields of sunflowers, rapeseed and whatever else used to make this biofuel, because what will their main income be when the oil runs out?
@yesiamanalien the info here is not 100% accurate White spirit doesn't do a thing to the veg. It's hocus pocus. Waste veg oil has a lower thermal value than diesel so the mpg is reduced by 10% or so. There is now no duty to pay on veg oil. Not any old diesel will do. Bosch injection pumps and injectors are needed ideally. Petrol thins WVO better than diesel. I have succesfully run my cars on veg for 10 years or so and covered 80,000 miles in that time. Check out database on goatindustries
@robertgisthebest I have tried various drip tests at different temperatures to determine the viscosity levels of veg. The minimal amount ot white spirit added doesn't do a thing to reduce viscosity. Also why the need to wait a week when it is added? There a few inconsintancies and although this programme did ultimately lead me to run my car on veg,it is not as easy as just whacking it in.It knackers up fuel guages, fuel filters and lines. There are ways round this though as I have discovered.
@uraldneprvw i could be totally wrong but as far as i know, vegetable oil is an ester consisting of glycerin and a variety of fatty acids... so adding spirit (which is ethanol or drinakble alcohol if you will) might cause a chemical reaction. for example splitting up some of the esters. i dont know though if that rather little amount of spirit is actually having an effect as a catalyst. as i said... i dont know, im just a high school senoir ;-)

You get used oil because new unused stuff is EXPENSIVE. And yes, it does work. Don't even need to add anything if you're in warm weather. Stir that crap so it can mix in everywhere. My goodness, knows his finances but not anything about the process.

while biodiesel itself works fairly ok, it's being marketed by false claims. we finns got it by promising that it would hit the stations by considerably lower prices. what was the truth? its equal to most expensive option, and the mileage is slightly worse than any of the options. then theres the wear to regular engines and so on. tl;dr, biofuels might be an option but theres lot of things that they're not telling us. all hail eco-fascism.

I've never owned a diesel before, could someone please explain to me what Jeremy meant by having to bleed the system first? Does he mean every time you fill it up?
NMbarrassment 11 months ago
@NMbarrassment No you don't have to bleed the system every time you fill up. Only if theres no fuel in the system like if you run out whilst driving.
gunner49061 11 months ago
@gunner49061 Thank you for your response. If there's no fuel in the system, what do you bleed? How long does it take? And is it something an average person can do or does it have to be a mechanic?
NMbarrassment 11 months ago
@NMbarrassment You only bleed the fuel system when you run out of fuel, which causes that air to get into the fuel lines. All you have to do is to disconnect the fuel lines that go to the combustion chambers, crank the engine, and wait for fuel to come out. Right there you stop cranking the engine, and connect the lines again and is ready to go. Some vehicles even have a little hand pump to bleed the system, it is used mostly when replacing the fuel filters which also puts air in the system.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@NMbarrassment Also, just to clarify, bleeding something means to get rid of the air. You do it to hydraulic systems in certain machines, you do it to your break system after replacing certain components (no just while replacing pads and calipers), and you do it to your fuel system when air got into the fuel lines because you allowed the fuel tank to run dry.

The issue with this fuels is not if it works or not, the issues is that most likely will ruin your car on the long run. I was a mechanic for the USAF and I can tel you from personal experience that running on anything else besides regular low sulfur diesel will ruin your engine. The first thing it does is to clog your EGR valve, then it slowly ruins your catalytic converter, and it will take out some O2 sensors along the way. I am up for alternative fuels, but this oils are just not meant to be
Vallecaucanisimo 1 year ago
@Vallecaucanisimo
Thats why you don't use veg oil on modern diesels like they said.
My old Peugeot has none of things you said, but there are other things to look out for, like oil contamination, if your oil level rises all the time then it's time to mix with regular disesl.
jarrus464 1 year ago
@Vallecaucanisimo Just get an old Peugeot diesel like a 205. No 02 sensors, no catalytic converter and I've not heard of an EGR valve on them although I may be mistaken by that. The biggest problem I've heared is that many fuel pumps can not take it so you have to mix.
lukerobin01 1 year ago
@Vallecaucanisimo
so how do you avoid this problem then ? is it better to mix the oil with some diesel ? will that be better ? say 60% oil and 40% regular diesel ?
i have a w reg ford mondeo. if i fill my tank with 40% diesel. i can then just add straight vegetable oil into my tank for the remainder 60%, right ?
that should not cause any problems ?
fonzi0was0cool 11 months ago
@fonzi0was0cool Sorry dude, there is no way to avoid it...there are vehicles that do better than others of course, but on the long run it could cause mechanical problems. Now, that is not to say that your engine will break, but the emission control components might and it will cause problems along the way. We used to run trucks on 20% Bio-diesel, which come from other sources and it still causes problems. Now, is not something that will happen over night on in a year, but it will eventually.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@fonzi0was0cool Also, have in mind that mixing fuels might not be the best thing for your car, specially diesel. You have to make sure they are from the same quality and cetane rating. the one thing that always pisses me off about alternative fuels is that they deliver less power and therefore you use more fuel which defeats the purpose of using them. You could do that mileage test your self and you will see what I mean. The crappy part also is that in some areas all you can find is bio-diesel.

tonycavez 11 months ago
@tonycavez Not sure what you are talking about, I did not get a single word of what you said. You have and old truck with no emission control components that works fine with the stuff, it does not mean that all older trucks will work the same. Newer trucks require low sulfur diesel otherwise you will ruin your injection pump, I don't think you even know what an EGR is and why it gets stuck with Bio-diesel. Some older diesel trucks will run fine with any diesel-like fuel, but most do not.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@Vallecaucanisimo listen dude I have been a mechanic for 36 years I can teach you a thing or two about an egr valve ,no car requires low sulfer diesel its only for anti polution purposes,besides the mercedes 300sd I also own a GMC 6.5 diesel with a computer controlled fuel injected pump and it does have an EGR and runs just fine on wvo
tonycavez 11 months ago
@tonycavez Well man, I have been a mechanic too you know and I can tell you from personal experience that Bio-Diesel will clog your EGR valve. And yes, low sulfur diesel was created with the intent of reducing emissions, how ever newer cars do require it. If not used damage to the fuel pump components could occur. Older cars do not require but newer than 2008 do. Also, what you fail to realize is that the EGR technology is not the same for a 1995 than a 2008.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@tonycavez Now, have in mind that I am not saying that your truck will run like crap, but it is very likely that there is heavy carbon deposits in your exhaust system due to the use of certain alternative fuels, such as Bio-Diesel. I cannot tell you how many EGRs I have replaced because they got stuck due to the high carbon built up. It is not something that will happen over night but it will happen after a year or two.

@tonycavez I am sorry but you are the one who needs to give me a break, If you read my comments I am all up for saving the environment, however this fuels are not the solution, they are not even helping since they raise food prices. Now, about out discussion, I mentioned to you that I was a mechanic right? well I happen to be part of the USAF and we have LARGE fleet of vehicles. We have our own fuel pump on base for our government vehicles. Our Diesel supply has 20% Bio-Diesel mixed in it.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@tonycavez From experience, in our big ass fleet of diesel trucks, Bio-Diesel tents to deposit a heavy carbon layer in the manifolds and exhaust system. The first thing to go out is usually the EGR as it can't open and close due to the junk that the Bio-Diesel leaves. I have tested this, the fuel works but it has issues. I am not just telling you what I think, I am telling you what I have seen. I understand that you have no issues in your trucks. Well good for you but I can't recommend the stuff
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@tonycavez I don't mean to be an asshole but you strike me as a very old school mechanic who still thinks Diesels run on anything, which is pretty ignorant if you ask me. I can see you doing the same thing our drivers do in the flight line, which is putting Jet Fuel in the diesel truck thinking it will be OK. Some Diesel trucks have engines that allow for that but in newer ones that is a rare thing.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
@tonycavez
bio diesel does tend to leave more deposits on injectors etc and the land needed to grow biodiesel crops is land that could be used for food so it pushes price up.
we need a bio diesel crop that will grow anywhere; the opium poppy grows anywhere- opium as a fuel!!!

@fonzi0was0cool I don't really have a recommendation for you other than using straight high quality diesel engine, keeping up with maintenance, and drive your car properly. I am a huge fan making things better for the environment but in my opinion this fuels do not deliver the way they should. Somebody else might disagree and that is OK too, but since you are asking me that is all I can tell you my friend. However be glad to have a diesel! it is has great mileage regardless of the fuel you use.
Vallecaucanisimo 11 months ago
By the way you need to make biodiesel properly, google it. Most modern diesel engines will have fuel pump/injector problems on this stuff after some weeks or months. Older engines without fuel injectors will run fine on this stuff though, probably.

@jarrus464 There is. Indirect Injection instead of fuel injected. The older PSA XUD engines are of indirect direction so they can run it fine. Try it on a later PSA HDi engine which is fuel injected and you'll have problems.

So if my calculations are correct (may not) you would put about 1/2 cup of "spirits" to one gallon of veggie oil.
yesiamanalien 1 year ago
@yesiamanalien the info here is not 100% accurate White spirit doesn't do a thing to the veg. It's hocus pocus. Waste veg oil has a lower thermal value than diesel so the mpg is reduced by 10% or so. There is now no duty to pay on veg oil. Not any old diesel will do. Bosch injection pumps and injectors are needed ideally. Petrol thins WVO better than diesel. I have succesfully run my cars on veg for 10 years or so and covered 80,000 miles in that time. Check out database on goatindustries

@uraldneprvw the white spirit is just to thin it down and make it more viscous, its not there or any other purpose
robertgisthebest 1 year ago
@robertgisthebest I have tried various drip tests at different temperatures to determine the viscosity levels of veg. The minimal amount ot white spirit added doesn't do a thing to reduce viscosity. Also why the need to wait a week when it is added? There a few inconsintancies and although this programme did ultimately lead me to run my car on veg,it is not as easy as just whacking it in.It knackers up fuel guages, fuel filters and lines. There are ways round this though as I have discovered.
uraldneprvw 1 year ago
@uraldneprvw i could be totally wrong but as far as i know, vegetable oil is an ester consisting of glycerin and a variety of fatty acids... so adding spirit (which is ethanol or drinakble alcohol if you will) might cause a chemical reaction. for example splitting up some of the esters. i dont know though if that rather little amount of spirit is actually having an effect as a catalyst. as i said... i dont know, im just a high school senoir ;-)
