Yep, veg oil, especially used cooking one (eg heated for a long period) is full of drying out components, that will kill the whole fuel system including the hoses. That is why veg oil usually used as a raw material to make "biodiesel" which has some limitations too but way more usable as a fuel.

I have run my MF135 on straight vegetable oil before. I believe that's the same engine. Just don't do it in the winter. It was actually recommended back in the day to add up to 20% gasoline to your diesel in winter, when winterdiesel was not a thing yet. Try adding some gasoline to your tank if it doesn't want to start when it gets colder. I actually use the diesel/gasoline mix I get from workshops when they pump out cars that filled up the wrong fuel in my old tractors. I usually mix it 70/30 with 70% diesel because you never know what the diesel/gasoline ratio is when you get that stuff.
Last engines that would happily run off heating oil, sunflower oil, etc. were the fully mechanical ones from the 80s and 90s. Modern fuel injectors would gum up and the engine would be trash in a week. The old ones would run well for a good while, but it was rough. A family friend once upon a time ran his Golf 3 on vegetable oil, after a few months it gummed up and was trash. It's not a clean enough fuel. Once upon a time, in early 90s Croatia, when heating oil was 52 Pfennig a litre, everyone bought diesels and ran them on that. Many of those cars still run today, so obviously it worked in them.
The upside in my area you can burn anything oil transmission fluid etc.. we usually buy heating oil witch is red and illegal to run so we add 2 stroke oil to change the color. At 2:20 per liter I don't care haha
I have an old 88 Gq Nissan Patrol with a TD42 N/A diesel engine it could run on veggie oil to as it has a mechanical injection pump for people in Australia but the engines are desirable so they are not a cheap vehicle to buy these day.
If doing this for a diesel heater, i recommend running a mixture of 40 percent filtered used oils, 50 % virgin heating oil/diesel/jetA/kerosene and 10 % petrol. I have a drum where i premix the ingredients, and run through an ultra filter setup with a recirculation pump before i transfer it to the clean drum. Be sure to sample often and change those fulters.
If it’s a PD engine, you can run 85% oil 15% petrol but you’ll need to be careful of the hot start issue that arises. Engine tries to start with less fuel when car is up to temp & often can’t at all or will need to crank for about 30s before it fires, this can be changed in software though to start with the full fueling it would from cold regardless of engine temp. Other than that just make sure it’s thoroughly mixed & filtered to 1 micron & you’re good to go
I make about half my own diesel. Diesel is the fuel of the present and the future. It powers the world today and deep into the future! It is limitless!
Back and tell you the best way to filter the oil you've ever heard in your life it's with no filter nothing no screen nothing it's with a chemical that is used as a flocculant to make everything sink to the bottom water debris and odors and colors you use Pig gelatin powder mix well with the oil give it some time and all the debris odor solids moisture we'll all drop to the bottom where it can be drained off if you have a cone bottom tank and oil is then ready to be used
Do you experience any noticeable losses in power when driving? Also I suppose the overall fuel consumption will rise when driving on veg oil, is that correct?
Depends on how smart the examiner is. When my old Land Rover got stopped by the Ministry to see if I was running on red diesel the arsehole tried putting his probe down the filler cap. He couldn't getting it down cos there's a mesh filter to stop debris going in and I wasn't gonna tell the twat that pulling, twist then pulling gets the Jerry can extention out taking the mesh with it. 🖕🏻😄 If he was smart he could have used the water drain on most diesel filters or pulled the feed hose pipe to the fuel injection pump or crack the injection pipes and turn the engine over till fuel comes out but I would've said no cos it's a bastard to bleed the system.😉 So he got the vehicle examiner to be extra strict in checking it over cos out of earshot the VE told me that the Ministry arsehole had said that. The look on the Ministry arsehole's face when the VE said there's only a bit on play on a bush which wouldn't be a MOT failure so he's free to leave was priceless. After the PNC check came back clear I drove away giving the Ministry arsehole the 🇬🇧V for victory🤣
Not anymore. It used to be a thing when diesels were new on the roads, they may have done the odd spot check, but now that diesels are so popular in the UK they don't have the resources to check anyone anymore.
Pretty sure if you are running veg oil then it's fine, as it's already had the necessary taxes taken from it when purchased from wherever it was purchased from prior to being used :)

I used for 20k miles in a year, I used to run it on a 90 oil/10 diesel mix ran two fuel filters then for last 9k miles ran it on heating oil with 5% diesel plus maybe a few oil changes went back in tank, hey its called recycling. Now I run a 1.9 p130 passat with 70 oil and 30 diesel, am going to try to up oil mixer with a bit of archoil as seems to help a bit the passat is nearly on 200k and each oil change its not bad and don't worry that gets recycled too .
I have family in Europe, who have given up farming And at no charge they are converting oils into diesel to run on pre-1990 farm vehicles and they’ve had a significant amount of success getting very very small amounts of gasoline to the old oil. They’ve even been able to Barney in their homes as a substitute for home heating oil.
Sadly the cars that can run on veg are slowly dying. I can run mine on straight veg, got the awesome xud9te engine, variants of which can be found in a huge variety of cars. I do, however chose to make biodiesel as you get a far lower operational temperature range and it’s kinder to the fuel system being as the viscosity is much closer to regular diesel
I’ve had good results with up to 80% waste motor oil on the HEUI 7.3 powerstroke (international t444e.) cut with normal number 2 diesel sometimes with a splash of regular unleaded gasoline

Hi, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't damage the engine in any way, but it can be hard on your injection pump as gunk can accumulate if you run on fuel with too high viscosity. That's why people thin their oil with diesel or petrol. Just look up your engine and and if anybody runs it on biodiesel.
This scares me deeply... Like seriously fucking scares me, and i think it might be because i truly cant tell if im being lied to... I mean I don't have a diesel engine or anything and I'm never gonna try this, but for some reason this still scares the hell out of me...
I run a mix of automatic transmission fluid 4 gallons of diesel 250 gallons of transmission fluid. Theprimary factor is high pressure injectors, no rail systems.
Because its used vegetable oil thats how its free or cheap by getting the used oil from takeaways and restaurants so it needs to be filtered to filter bits of food out of it
Most people I've seen run this in trucks with common rail have to have a set up that runs diesel until operating temp is reached then switch over to black diesel..Otherwise the rings will gunk up with carbon if the valves don't first..and then back to regular diesel before shutdown. .I've seen a large centrifuge used to filter it..which removes any water too..from condensation inside metal barrels or someone pouring coolant into the wrong barrel at the garage. .I assume he means mechanical injector pump when he says fuel pump..Must be what they call that in the land of government micromanagement..at least on fuels..speaking of illegal things in the UK. ..You also run one of those little chinese 6kw diesel heaters of that too..I hear a kilowatt hour cost an arm and a leg there.

Back and tell you the best way to filter the oil you've ever heard in your life it's with no filter nothing no screen nothing it's with a chemical that is used as a flocculant to make everything sink to the bottom water debris and odors and colors you use Pig gelatin powder mix well with the oil give it some time and all the debris odor solids moisture we'll all drop to the bottom where it can be drained off if you have a cone bottom tank and oil is then ready to be used
Would you have a link to that stuff or a video showing this in use please?
Do you experience any noticeable losses in power when driving? Also I suppose the overall fuel consumption will rise when driving on veg oil, is that correct?
Don't you have to warm your fuel lines when you use these mixtures?
Yeah in colder climates I believe you do. The oil can become viscous as temperature drops and that can mess with your pumps and injectors
I’ve used 50/50 veg oil and diesel in a vw 2.5tdi, run sweet. The common rail I’m using now I just put a dash of 2T oil when filling up.
How could they find out if you put other oils in there?
Depends on how smart the examiner is.
When my old Land Rover got stopped by the Ministry to see if I was running on red diesel the arsehole tried putting his probe down the filler cap.
He couldn't getting it down cos there's a mesh filter to stop debris going in and I wasn't gonna tell the twat that pulling, twist then pulling gets the Jerry can extention out taking the mesh with it.
🖕🏻😄
If he was smart he could have used the water drain on most diesel filters or pulled the feed hose pipe to the fuel injection pump or crack the injection pipes and turn the engine over till fuel comes out but I would've said no cos it's a bastard to bleed the system.😉
So he got the vehicle examiner to be extra strict in checking it over cos out of earshot the VE told me that the Ministry arsehole had said that.
The look on the Ministry arsehole's face when the VE said there's only a bit on play on a bush which wouldn't be a MOT failure so he's free to leave was priceless.
After the PNC check came back clear I drove away giving the Ministry arsehole the 🇬🇧V for victory🤣
@@R.Sole88109theres a video on youtube of some guy in the uk filtering the diesel dye out through kitty litter
@@Vicious_Retard
Aye, there's a few videos of legends removing the dye.
I can't verify how effective they are.😄
@@Vicious_Retard I run cherry flavored diesel in my tdi lol also love the username! 🤣
Up north of Ireland, they use bread to filter diesel
That is to filter the red dye out of the commercial diesel they are flogging
@@ripme6616 on the ball
Can i use extra virgin olive oil
It better not be virgin by the time you put it in an engine
Absolutely. Would be expensive though!
Instead of mixing the oil with petrol. Can you use Ethanol/E85 since that’s cheaper where I live
maybe run it through a finer micron filter than a bedsheet also
Hi scotty I was wondering is there a possibility of changing my fuel system to a mechanical
Nothing is impossible, but this would be so impractical, best option, find a car that likes this fuel
@@coolhandluke1503 It's also probably illegal, due to newer cars having strict emissions standards that a mechanically injected engine can't meet.
You can also create low grade diesel from plastic
But it is extremely toxic whilst in the making and whilst using, for you and the environment.
Most English workshop I’ve ever seen. Loving the genuine stone walls 😄
Do you actually have people check your fuel to make sure it's legal?
Not anymore. It used to be a thing when diesels were new on the roads, they may have done the odd spot check, but now that diesels are so popular in the UK they don't have the resources to check anyone anymore.
Can we use wate oil diesel as long as we stay off the road though? Bit like how I use red diesel in my 4x4 but it's off the road
Pretty sure if you are running veg oil then it's fine, as it's already had the necessary taxes taken from it when purchased from wherever it was purchased from prior to being used :)
Oi, howdy from The States. I used to go to a british pub over here often and drank Carlsberg... there was a point in my life i was fuel by Carlsberg lol. Great video
Have you seen garage 54 turn used tyres into fuel?!?
Love them guys,,,,,,,,, they do some pretty interesting stuff, sometimes it works, sometimes not so much but always interesting.
Im all for this sort of thing , only doubt is using petrol as a thinner , use too much and you could blow your cylinder head .
I had a 2000 fiat punto 1.9 jtd. I used for 20k miles in a year, I used to run it on a 90 oil/10 diesel mix ran two fuel filters then for last 9k miles ran it on heating oil with 5% diesel plus maybe a few oil changes went back in tank, hey its called recycling. Now I run a 1.9 p130 passat with 70 oil and 30 diesel, am going to try to up oil mixer with a bit of archoil as seems to help a bit the passat is nearly on 200k and each oil change its not bad and don't worry that gets recycled too
.
I have family in Europe, who have given up farming And at no charge they are converting oils into diesel to run on pre-1990 farm vehicles and they’ve had a significant amount of success getting very very small amounts of gasoline to the old oil. They’ve even been able to Barney in their homes as a substitute for home heating oil.
Thats some top shelf vege oil. Looks like gods greatest 10w40
Any way you can fixture some hair Gel for that thing
can you show exactly how you mix and how mouch
The diesel freak, gallons'n gallons everywhere; in the living room, kitchen, bedroom & mo! 😉
How much would you say that 2000l of that 90/10 mix cost all together ?
That Volvo is gorgeous
Sadly the cars that can run on veg are slowly dying. I can run mine on straight veg, got the awesome xud9te engine, variants of which can be found in a huge variety of cars. I do, however chose to make biodiesel as you get a far lower operational temperature range and it’s kinder to the fuel system being as the viscosity is much closer to regular diesel
My 1994 Mitsubishi L200 runs on 100% cooking oil but settled for 50/50 to be safe
Can it run on every kind of oil or no?
It can but if you get caught with it you get fined per litre in your car and the car gets scrapped
I’ve had good results with up to 80% waste motor oil on the HEUI 7.3 powerstroke (international t444e.) cut with normal number 2 diesel sometimes with a splash of regular unleaded gasoline
Fun fact: McDonalds (in the UK at least) runs their trucks off this, all McDonalds trucks run off used cooking oil with some additives, it saves them money and gives them good marketing.
Hell yes, I saved 200 dollars on diesel and blew up a 20k motor
Name a passenger car with a Diesel engine from before the year 2000 that has a motor that costs $20k for a short block. I’ll wait.
@@UHOH3300i was gonna say, unless it has below 100k km on the original engine, no volvo that old is worth 20 grand, lets say 2.2k for the new engine- given thats what some of these volvos (the whole car) go for and youre still well under the fuel costs..
does the vegtable oil have to be used?
Nope, can be new. But in my country new oil costs more than diesel
1998 peugeot 406 1.9 d. Ran that old girl for 50k miles on pure new vegetable oil without a problem. Its been sitting for years now with the oil in the tank and any time I hook a battery up to it it fires up first turn. Great old car.
Brilliant car 2300 miles on 3 tanks of red with a little change probably another 70 miles.1 tank full 150 litres in the boot back in the good old days birmingham to Romania boy o boy what a car

Hello, do you know how can we use Crude Glycerin from bio diesel process into diesel generators and Camins?
2008 transit connect 1.8tdci common rail runs great on it 👍
Have looked into any water fueled engines?
Is it a diesel motor in that Volvo?
Love it!! 👍🏾
Senti Scotty ma sai se anche una Fiat Panda 4x4 del 90 può andare ad olio o serve il biodiesel?
Hai una vecchia panda diesel??? E per giunta 4x4??? Incredibile! Secondo me essendo un vecchio diesel può andare ad olio, ma è sempre meglio informarsi.
Hi. what can i use if i don't have metanol?
gasoline
For transesterificaton? Ethanol. But it has to by DRY! Like 99.6%. And can be dried chemically.
Can you use heating oil in a diesel car
hey, I was wondering does it damage the engine in any way?
Hi, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't damage the engine in any way, but it can be hard on your injection pump as gunk can accumulate if you run on fuel with too high viscosity. That's why people thin their oil with diesel or petrol. Just look up your engine and and if anybody runs it on biodiesel.
Modern diesel systems are very expensive to repair if damaged by water ect I would need a lot of research before attempting this.
@@Michael-yx9lghe literally says do not do this on modern diesels
My neighbor ran oil from the doughnut shops. My son claimed his exhaust smelled like doughnuts. What's yours she'll like?
Does anybody know if this works on PD Engines?
This guy looks like he's straight out of 1985. Nevertheless, free diesel is pretty cool 😂
That’s a lovely old Volvo.
Does Carlsberg also work as diesel?
This scares me deeply... Like seriously fucking scares me, and i think it might be because i truly cant tell if im being lied to... I mean I don't have a diesel engine or anything and I'm never gonna try this, but for some reason this still scares the hell out of me...
is w123 diesel good with used engine oil?
Does it work for 1.9 TDI from 2002?
can old busses run on it? (like these old kennworth busses)
Excellent video.
I didn't catch actually what he said. Is he using the oil as oil or does he transform it to Diesel by chemical process?
Would I be able to do this with my 2009 Volvo v50 estate
I run a mix of automatic transmission fluid 4 gallons of diesel 250 gallons of transmission fluid. Theprimary factor is high pressure injectors, no rail systems.
I love the smell that generates when I run atf fluid.
Cant wait for the new content
Nothin like an e85 vegetable oil mix 😎
But it there any difference in milage, do you have the same milage with full tank of diesel as your deep fried gasoline mix?
It won't have the same mileage, it will be worse. But it is still cheaper.
@@bdegroot3825 obviously it'll be cheaper it's fricken free 😂
Why do you need to filter vegetable oil can’t you just mixed it straightly? What exactly did it filter out
Chips, bits of chicken etc.
Because its used vegetable oil thats how its free or cheap by getting the used oil from takeaways and restaurants so it needs to be filtered to filter bits of food out of it
Can this work in 1.9 tdi?
Biodiesel is the best man
My truck loves it
Most people I've seen run this in trucks with common rail have to have a set up that runs diesel until operating temp is reached then switch over to black diesel..Otherwise the rings will gunk up with carbon if the valves don't first..and then back to regular diesel before shutdown. .I've seen a large centrifuge used to filter it..which removes any water too..from condensation inside metal barrels or someone pouring coolant into the wrong barrel at the garage. .I assume he means mechanical injector pump when he says fuel pump..Must be what they call that in the land of government micromanagement..at least on fuels..speaking of illegal things in the UK. ..You also run one of those little chinese 6kw diesel heaters of that too..I hear a kilowatt hour cost an arm and a leg there. So that would definitely add to the savings
There's also a kerosene alternative. 4 gallons oil,1 gallon kerosene. Try it out to verify
International b250 1958 yes or no?
mechanical fuel pump, most probably yes
which cares are able to run 100% on vegetable oil?
Why are there not modern cars made specifically to run on mixes like this? As in it’s surely less polluting and more eco?
I think this man could be lead singer in a punk rock band for a night job.
Fair play fella
sorry for the trouble, I have a corsa b 1.5td diesel
and I put in the tank 50%50 diesel and burnt oil, I changed the spark plugs
Sparkplugs? 😅
@@starslav I think it's a joke 😂
Hot dang! What ya got right there is gas engine. Must run like ol snowblower.
