Anyone use Vegetable oil in your Diesel Vehicle - GoFuckYourself.com

President · 09-07-2005, 10:00 AM

In another thread others are mentioning using vegetable oil instead of diesel. I am very interested in hearing others experiences about this. I own 2 restaurants and we are currenlty getting rid of gallons and gallons and gallons of used French Fry oil while at the same time spending a fortune on buying diesel for our Ford 20 passenger E350 and our 4x4 Mitsubishi pickup (2 years old still on warranty

)
There is nothing of course that can be done for my gas hog Escalade

Advice and experience much appreciated, this would be like free money if this concept works without damaging the rest of the vehicle

Deisel engines can run on a whole lot of shit. I once saw a hummer fill up with fucking KEROSINE & run. And thats no shit.

Of course the mentioned engine was a cummings turbo diesel.....& well they make the engines for the military & this was right around 1997-98 when they first came out with the huge hummers.

Putting anything else in american car might very well cause it to explode.

dont put ANYTHING else in your vehicles that isnt gas or diseal. you'll fuck your shit up

there are, however, cars that can run on Veg. oil but those are special made cars (theres also a new car Honda is making that runs on water too). but those havent came out yet, not sure if they ever will actually. but if they do, i'm the first bitch in line for one lol

Do some research man.
There is an episode on PBS about this..
The California company has kits for trucks to mercedes
they add an additional fuel tank for the cooking oil
you start the vehicle on regular diesel and can run on that if you so choose
but when the motor gets warm, you can switch to the cooking oil.

The Ford E350 has a 7. something Diesel and was made for USA use, but the Mitsubishi 4x4 turbo diesel was made specific for export to Honduras which is where I am, hmmm I so want to try this but am so afraid of the warranty scenario.

Price of our gasoline went up on Monday a FULL $1
and diesel is coming up next week

If you're int a warm weather area you don't need to worry about the second tank. You can run on straight vegetable oil. Vegetable oil solidifies at warmer temps than Diesel does so the Diesel is necessary if it gets cold where you live. If you're in Florida you can run on Veg oil. Filtering is the most important part.

Diesel engines were originally engineered to run on Peanut oil, not petroleum.

Looks like biodiesel is a choice too

If you get a conversion kit you can use the veg oil. Of course you need to filter it very very well first. Considering restuarnats will give you the shit for FREE since they usually PAY to have the shit hauled off how can you beat FREE fuel?

It averages 95 to 100 F everyday here right now, rarely gets below 75F

Okay, thanks guys I have a lot of reading to do. And I'll do it, but of the bat, anyone know if "mixing" the tow is a problem? i.e. the tank currenlty has diesel can I just top it off?

Since you are in the South, it is very easy to run Bio-Diesel in your car with no modifications. All you do is put your used fryer oil in a big barrel, mix in a little methanol and lye. Mix very well with a power drill. Let it settle for a few hours... all the glycerine settles out to the bottom. All the fryer sludge is next. Everything on top is pure, clean, bio-diesel that can be poured straight in the tank at any mixture from 1-100% with regular diesel. It works out to like $0.50/gal or something after you buy the methanol and lye.

I would not recommend any type of conversion for your car to burn veggie oil... just make the bio-diesel and pour it in.

Bio-Diesel is extremely enviro friendly, and extremely good for the engine. It keeps all the lines, injectors, etc super clean and lubricates very very well.

You can buy a kit like this:

There are lots of cars here on Maui that run on vegetable oil.
Check out http://www.biodiesel.com/
You see lots of VW's that say biodiesel on the side, and i believe all fedex trucks on maui are biodiesel
it literally smells like french fries when they drive by
