Megalodon Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Has anyone tried using vegetable oil or a 50/50 mix in their diesel? Did it kill the injector pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It's not recommended generally for VAG engines. I think they recommend up to a 5% mixture of Bio derived fuel, but I think mixing pure veg oil could cause major problems! Veg oil is thicker than diesel and will need to be heated before it will correctly atomise when injected. Otherwise it will simply clog the injectors and fuel lines/pump etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
