TD5 on Veg oil
« on: January 15, 2011, 09:59:40 AM »
Hi,

I did this on a 200Tdi fitted with a heat exchanger and rotory valve to change from diesel to 100% veg oil when the engine was hot.
I fancy doing this with the TD5 disco. I've seen lots of debates as to whether it can be done or not.
What's the answer??

cheers

Geoff

TD5`s don`t like anything other than diesel, even advise against additives

Can you get a conversion kit for the pumps  ???
I got 20l sitting in the garage, but to scared to put it in the TD5, :-\
I take it the 2.5na won't even notice a difference. You should have seen the much that came out the tank &  filter, yet it would still  run  ;D
