2.4 and 3.0 are much the same, up to 500km per tank if very carefull. 27mpg ish motorway

Sancho will tell you of the V6 i think it does 1 mpg and 5 km's to a tankfull when driven gently, the upside is if you dont use it it will hardly use any fuel at all

It varies a lot. For generally driving round I get around 350KMs to a tank. If I do a solid motorway run at a constant 65ish mph I can get over 500KMs to a tank. This is in my 95 3.0ltr running Veg.

Can i run my 19 2.4td on veg oil?

or would i need a pre-heater to warm the oil? and does it damage the engine/turbo at all?

Yes up to 50/50 in winter and heaters are a good idea, a heatexchanger fromheater matrix is a good idea if you want to do that. Do a search for VOW2 DW thats an electric/coolant fuel heater. But itll go on it without a heater exchanger 50% winter maximum maybe more in summer, and it lowers your emmissions too

Do a search on Veg Oil, and all your questions (and worries) will be answered,

[joe GT]

i take it you need a seperate fuel tank for the veg oil? or can you add it to the main tank as a 50/50 ratio?

at a guess- veg oil costs less per gallon too?

Add it to main tank wiv diesel, its about 68 p per litre just now, which is £3 per gallon

Just in case anybody does not realise…..

I have a 3:0 V6 Petrol and can report that I get 16 mpg during normal driving. I have not worked out the consumption for motorway driving yet.

Anyone want to spot PDR £50 so he can do a short motorway run and check the fuel consumption???

whos gonna pay for the run back home though?

[joe GT]

I've read up about running it on veg oil, but they don't seem to say anything about the fuel to veg ratio. can i just fill the tank up 1/4 with veg oil and go from there? unless the veg oil sinks benbeath the diesel, or vice versa?

[joe GT]

...Then i wouldnt need a pre-heater surely? as the engine will be warm before it goes into the fuel lines; into the engine?

BUT...does this knacker the turbo or such like?
