Lawn mower running on vegetable oil

Well, I hate this mower, the muffler fell off last year and it sounds like a harley and leaves my ears ringing after mowing the lawn.

I thought it would be fun to try to destroy the engine. Well, I tried to atleast.

It's running on 50/50 acentone/gasoline
about 12oz of vegetable oil, regular oil has been drained and flushed before this to ensure no dino oil is helping to lube the engine.

I was able to mow my front yard entirely and still ran strong, if not better than before, it used to stall out on tall grass, not this time.

Next step, run it on 50/50 gasoline/rubbing alcohol mix maybe that will melt the engine

Haha yeah, more like running the rest of the gas that's left in the gas line. good try but it's a gas engine not a diesel.

@hiby3434

Umm, clearly you're an idiot.

I filled the crankcase with veg oil, not the fuel tank.

Dude, go show off your boner for lawn mowers somewhere else. And it wasn't running perfectly fine, the shaft was slightly bent.

@3ddonovan that reminds me of when they used to put crude oil in the crankcases of cars (not that i'm that old) I'd rather use veg oil than crude. I would guess in an emergency you could put vegetable oil in your car for a short time. Vegetable oil clings better than a lot of motor oils, as for thermal breakdown not so great, just change it more often and I don't see a problem with it. In fact, veg oil processes better for bio fuel after it has been heated many times better then SVO. (=

lol alcohol burns cooler dude, good luck tho....next time go get a can of redi whip and put a hose on it and shove the hose in the intake of the carb and crank the mower to full throttle and then hold redi whip right side up and squeeze valve on whip cream can....this is nitrous....engine will go boom, did it with a go cart, lasted bout 4 secs b4 detonation and slow roll to a stop.....btw block had a big hole that the rod went through

its not like you need formula 1 racing oil, 30 grade oil aint that expensive!

[3ddonovan]

I've been using vegetable oil as a motor oil in my lawnmower for over 5 years. It still runs just fine. I prefer to use canola oil.
