reb78 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My neighbour knows I use veg oil in the 110 and kindly picked up 20 litres of oil for me whilst at Costco. Unfortunately it’s GM Soya Oil. I religiously stick to rapeseed or sunflower as I’ve heard some bad things about soya. Would you use it? Or shall I use it to get the bonfire going?

jeremy996 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I've used gallons of it in my 200Tdi, rarely as new oil, sometimes as time expired, sometimes as feedstock for bio-diesel and most often as used oil. It just works. (322k on the truck, 180k on veg oil using a diesel-veg two tank set up). The only issue I have with soya is that it goes viscous at low temperatures.

reb78 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’m just pouring straight in the tank if that makes a difference? I’ve done this for eight or so years, only in the warmer weather, but never soya. Sounds like it’d be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 If you are mixing it with diesel and there is not frost on the ground, I'd be astonished if you had a problem. (HMRC would want to put road fuel duty on new oil used as fuel - the concessions are for bio-diesel and used oil). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
