Can you run a 1994 BMW 525 Turbo Diesel on pure vegetable oil?

please can any one tell me if i can run my can on vegetable oil Not bidiesel.


please my theory is mix vegetable oil wth acetone simply to make it thinner and lower emissions and evaportion and put it in to my car tank 1994 BMW 525 Turbo Diesel


will it work please help


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

  • Is there any relation between concentration of vegetable oil in water and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) of water

    I am performing a filtration experiment using some filter media where i need to find the upstream and downstream concentrations of oil in water. So, I was wondering if COD content of water sample can indicate the respective oil concentration in that sample.Is there any relation between concentration of vegetable oil in water and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) of water
    As mentioned above, disolved/suspended oil, of any kind will contribute to COD. Lil oil = lots COD. in a pure solution (i.e just oil and water) the correlation will be very good. However in a true waste water stream, your results will not correlate as well -- esp if the nature of the oil can change.





    If you desire to determine the amount oil in water, use the EPA oil and grease method - either solid phase extraction (lots of money in setup) or hexane extraction in a sep funnel (cheap but more work). The recovery of vegetable oil - like corn oil - in this procedure is darn near 100%, with about a 2 PPM lower limit for a 1 liter sample. Need a scale measure at least to 1mg resolution, hexane, and an extraction flask.Is there any relation between concentration of vegetable oil in water and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) of water
    there won't be enough to extract. think of what you're trying to do. unless there are surfactants aplenty in the water oil won't mix with the water, so you can filter than use a separatory funnel to allow the layers to settle out so you can separate them. if there's surfactants in the water good luck on extracting the oil cuz you're gonna have to break open the micelles and that will take time and energy.





    COD is from lots of stuff and ammount of oil in water could change the number. set up a scale of samples you made yourself to see if there is a relationship, and you can apply this to the sample you'll take
    Yes, but other organic matter would have a COD also. You could extract the oil with chloroform or some other solvent.

    If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

    originality counts dear....If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
    100% mineral oil some countries use Whale oilIf corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
    Asian babies.
    Babies.
    Mineral oil with added fragrance is marketed as baby oil in the US, UK and Canada


    Mineral oil or liquid petroleum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other petroleum based products from crude oil. It is a transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes (typically 15 to 40 carbons)[1] and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. It has a density of around 0.8 g/cm3.[2] Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities. Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades, and can often be found in drug stores.





    There are three basic classes of mineral oils:





    paraffinic oils, based on n-alkanes


    naphthenic oils, based on cycloalkanes


    aromatic oils, based on aromatic hydrocarbons (not to confuse with essential oils)


    The broad range of applications for mineral oil has resulted in an equally expansive list of application-specific names and trade brands. Other names for mineral oil include:





    Adepsine oil


    Albolene


    Cable oil


    Baby Oil


    Drakeol


    Electrical Insulating Oil


    Heat-treating oil


    Hydraulic oil


    Lignite oil


    Liquid paraffin


    Mineral Seal Oil


    Paraffin oil


    Petrolatum


    Petroleum, liquid


    White oil
    Baby seals.

    If corn oil is made from corn, and Vegetable oil from certain vegetables...?

    What is baby oil made from :DIf corn oil is made from corn, and Vegetable oil from certain vegetables...?
    BABYS ;DIf corn oil is made from corn, and Vegetable oil from certain vegetables...?
    Well baby oil isnt made of babies but im sure tat its made of certain herbs which help babies grow, like neem, tulsi, aloe vera etc.
    A serious answer to your joke question, Baby Oil is mineral oil with perfume added. It comes from minerals - rocks.
    Ha Ha Lol

    I resently watched Dirtiest Jobs with Mike Rowe on tv. They made bio deasil out of used vegetable oil.?

    Has anyone ever used this with a deasil vw.I resently watched Dirtiest Jobs with Mike Rowe on tv. They made bio deasil out of used vegetable oil.?
    Most people that I know do not use straight biodiesel. They blend it 60/40 50/50 with regular diesel. Any diesel engine should be able to use it.I resently watched Dirtiest Jobs with Mike Rowe on tv. They made bio deasil out of used vegetable oil.?
    It's not in use here (Nebraska) unless it's mixed. Bean oil is more commonly used in Bio than waste cooking oil. The refining process for the cooking oil is more extensive than with the bean oil and the availability is much lower.


    Cooking oil is more likely to have residual animal fats along with saturated fats than bean oil. Consequently the cost is bound to be prohibitive.


    I wonder how a vegetarian would view this. Is it OK to burn animal fats in your diesel rather than eat animal protein. Just something to think about.
    There is absolutely no risk in using biodiesel with an engine. The only thing that can possibly happen is that if you have rubber fuel lines (most pre-1996 cars) or injector pump seals, the methanol in the biodiesel can eat them away. The engine itself will remain 100% functional. There are methanol proof replacements readily available. Real B100 is vegetable oil that has been treated with chemicals to remain thin and with low viscosity but with the chemicals recovered for later use, but most B100 or B99 is actually closer to B77, the 23% or so being methanol or petroleum. The original diesel engine, as well as every other diesel built on that principle since, will run perfectly fine on vegetable oil or vegetable based fuel. In fact, that petroleum stuff they sell at gas stations and call ';diesel'; is the real alternative. Peanut oil is true diesel.
    I have burned one full tank of B99 bio-diesel (that's 1% petroleum diesel and 99% vegetable oil) in my 2001 VW TDI. The motor fuel taxes were paid by the distributor on what I bought. My understanding is the veggie based fuel has stronger detergent action than petrol based fuel so you run the risk of your fuel system ingesting caked on deposits of whatever nasties might be deposited in your fuel tank, lines, filter and pump. My car ran just fine and no, it didn't smell like french fries!





    Producing fuel from veggie oils requires removing the glyceryn compounds and I believe edible oil refineries use methanol for that purpose. The resulting hydrocarbon mix is fine as a fuel but lacks lubricity additives for wear resistance. Like petrol diesel fuels, those additives are added after the refining process is complete.





    It is possible to burn straight veggie oil as fuel. These oils however have higher gel temperatures and thus may need to be heated in order to pass through the fuel system. Several entrepreneurs out in alternative fuel land supply conversion kits for diesel cars wanting to use straight veggie oil. They simply rout engine coolant lines to a heat exchanger in the fuel tank so excess engine heat is used to warm the fuel.





    Trying the B99 is one thing but even at $4.00 a gallon for petrol diesel fuel I'm not interested in risking damage to my precious car by continuing to use some alternative that is specifically mentioned as a no-no in my VW owners manual. And at the time I tried the B99 it was about 50 cents a gallon more expensive than standard #2 petrol diesel fuel.
    Some of our customers have used it, but you need to be careful.


    The oil needs to be well used so getting it clean enough for modern cars is difficult.


    It also needs about a cap full of some kind of spirit mixed in to help it burn.


    I've seen white spirit used.


    Another problem depending on where you live is that if you're caught evading fuel duty/tax you will be heavily fined
    There are quite a few discussions on this topic at www.tdiclub.com I own a VW diesel, but never have used biodiesel. I am not going to risk it, nor pay more to be ';green';

    Shortening vs. Vegetable Oil?

    Can I substitute shortening for vegetable oil, if I melt it down?Shortening vs. Vegetable Oil?
    It depends. If you're frying something, melted shortening will work. If you're baking a bread or cake, it will probably work if it is blended well in the batter or dough. If you're making a salad dressing on the other hand, you might find that as it cools to room temperature you will have lumps of congealed fat in your salad!Shortening vs. Vegetable Oil?
    What are you going to use it for baking then that would be OK because I have done that in the pass when I had ran out of oil.
    If your baking it is fine!! If you are frying something no...It will be to greasy!!!

    Can u use olive oil for making cake cookies instead of vegetable oil?

    we are making cookies out of cake mix and want to know if u can use olive oil instead of vegetable oil cause that is all we have.Can u use olive oil for making cake cookies instead of vegetable oil?
    I wouldn't, Olive oil is strong. It's best in very zesty dishes, such as pesto or pasta. Make somebody run to the neighbors and borrow some.Can u use olive oil for making cake cookies instead of vegetable oil?
    I'm sure that you could, however, I wouldn't recommend it. Olive oil doesn't have all the ';fat'; needed to keeps things together and the taste might be a little different than what you may be used to.
    NO. Olive oil has a definite taste and makes terrible baked goods. You could substitute corn oil, canola, safflower, just about any oil other then olive peanut ir coconut oil for vegetable oil
    it will have a different taste. i wouldn't use extra virgin olive oil, it has the strongest taste. i extra light olive oil, will have less of the taste.
    yeah, probably, i usually just use any type of oil, like canola or corn or anything when i bake.



    Yes, just use a mildly-flavored one, not a strong extra-virgin variety.
    Sure you can, it probably wont change the flavour very much....


    Han
    Olive oil is not suited for baking sweets...it will give it an off taste.


    use butter or margarine in place of veg oil...mayo will work as well
    no but u can use butter or magreine something like that ( i ment the spelling) he he
