thank you MaxCan you run a 1994 BMW 525 Turbo Diesel on pure vegetable oil?
NO!Can you run a 1994 BMW 525 Turbo Diesel on pure vegetable oil?
I'm guessing it's going to need some money spent on conversion. I doubt anything like that can go into the tank, and it will just work.
I'm clear on whether or not this will screw up a diesel engine but I do know that you can use pure vegetable oil as fuel without converting anything.
Yes you car run SVO strait vegetable oil, on your car. You WILL have to make a secondary fuel system thoug. When you start the car it will have to start on diesel, then you can run the SVO, It works best if you heat it. then you will have to run diesel for a few minutes before you shut the engine down. if you don't run it like this the svo will gum up your injectors,pump,filter,lines etc... Its Much easier/safer to just make the bio-diesel. its fairly easy to.
it will not work with vegetable oil alone.unless u change injector nozzles and fit a heater.There is no room to do this in your car trunk.Further u have to start with diesel and then run veg.oil and again flush the line b4 stopping the car.
Is not feasible and not recommended coz you will have to modify many things.Lastly may damage your engine..You can try if the authroities in your area allow and secondly u have money to get another engine later.Best advise is avoid it.
I can suggest you to blend the veg.oil 20percent with 80 percent diesel.But bear in mind the your engine will not like it.
Your car is BMW,not other diesel engines.
To experiment your idea get a cheap diesel engine of same HP and try it out.It will get choked without heaters.
only way it works with blending.
For diesel engines,anything above 350HP can run on blended oil.that must be 200 seconds.Anything more u have to flush the line after use.
Hope u got what am saying.
take care
Even in today's world of instant information you guys can't find the answer?

You can run strained straight used vegetable oil as fuel. You should install a warming system for keeping the fuel flowing and a change over switch to turn it back to diesel to keep the system open after you shut down.
However, if you don't mind the fact that most food oils congeal at relatively high temperatures and will most likely clog your injectors, you could just dump strained used vegetable oil in the car and run it.
