Has anyone seen/noticed any long term damage when running veg oil...?
Cheers

Some people running veg on Pajeros have had problems:

Which is precisely why you should always do your research before experimenting with different fuels. I see in one of the posts on that thread that Lucas were having a look at the fuel pump, if the pajeros are indeed fitted with a Lucas type pump then a bit of research would have shown that veg-oil was definatly not advisable.Originally posted by andycook
Thankfully the Surf uses a pump of Bosch design which has proven itself far more capable of handling veg-oil than the Lucas/CAV, Rotodiesel and many other designs/makes.Maurice

I'll second that - there's a sticky thread that specifies that the lucas type pump s no good and the bosch (or bosch like) one is - Not heard of anyone having problems before and i've been researching for about a week now (my boss would kill me if only they knew!)... Isn't going to put mee off trying... just bought a sh1* load of veg oil anyway... if i don't put it in the truck I'll be eating chips for the next 10 years!Originally posted by Morr
