I used Olive Oil as a biofuel and now it won't even start......

[Razorhoof]

Please help, have I blown something up?

[Gamedawn]

Perhaps if you ask Popeye to talk to her nicely ?

You must be loaded to try Olive oil. Did you use first press extra virgin and was it unfiltered?

[Razorhoof]

No, I just got a massive bottle of it from Cost Co and threw it in. My mechanic said it would be ok to do it but now it won't even turn over.... What is happening?

[Gamedawn]

Could be a clogged fuel filter. Try emptying the filter body and filling with some clean diesel to get it running

[drunkmonkeyboy]

I noticed that in the shops the olive oil seems to clump up easier than the others, so could be that this colder spell we are having has gelled the oil in the lines. do as the man says above and get it going to warm it up and top up with diesel to try and stop it happening again.

And use good old cheapo veg oil or for the finer palette some fine rape seed oil!

if its from Costco was it a 20L drum/box? if so that should be ok. Like they say - empty the fuel filter and stuff it with diesel and see what goes.

does it turn over?

[Razorhoof]

It's ok, beleive it or not I cleaned it all out using good old.... urine.

[paulh]
