Magnesol, a Magnesium silicate powder can be used to purify Biodiesel. Magnesol filtration options are the best way toped up the washing process, increase final quality and avoid water usage.
I used new veg oil in my 02 plate transit for 3 years neat, bit hard to start in cold but no mods and went really well, however, i'm now making my own bio diesel and although more effort is needed, its a better fuel in my opinion.
The problem wont be injectors clogging; veg oils is thicker and a good solvent, so it will blow seals and wear things out faster, and it will clean fuel lines, the stuff cleaned off then can clog filter.
My bro uses 50/50 veg/ diesel, all in 1 tank, he has bosch pump.
Well thanks for your input. as your probably aware,Lucas CAV rotodiesels as fitted 2 my car dont like veg oil,this is why i use white spirit which is about 2.5 litres in a tank full & ive had no problem unlike others usin the Lucas system. secondly, i dont know what u mean by unmodified system? apart from a jerry can in my boot for diesel 2 purge my fuel system its standard. ive used old & new oil in an engine thats now done 162,000 miles without a hitch so i fink i know what i"m up2 ;-)
will i have just known a couple of people that tried to run the straight veggie oil with a little "white spirit". the only problem is that the 5% wont affect the viscosity by any real amount. And you could just forget the spirit since you are using the 2 tank system. And by the way, this recipe will not work with a unmodified system, like the one they show on the show.
hi,i have run mine for over two years using a twin tank system and have done over 34,000 miles and changing my fuel filter every 6 months had no problem with my Lucas fuel system.
wht is the point of posting crap like this?
