My Veg Oil Car
Converting from Diesel to Vegetable Oil
If you're here, you probably have questions like:
- Can you run a
diesel engine on vegetable / cooking oil?
- Is it legal to run a veg oil car?
- Is it
dangerous?
- Will
your
engine run
smoothly
or
blow
up
on the first turn of the key?
This site tells the story of converting
my modern, diesel car to
run
on vegetable
oil (including Waste
Veg Oil). In so doing it hopefully answers
the questions posed above along with many others you may have.
I’m not a company. This isn’t my business. I don’t
sell anything to do with fuel conversion systems, neither do I
have anything to do with such companies. I’m just an ordinary
person who asked “Should I convert my diesel
engine to run on vegetable oil?”
I received so many conflicting answers to that question that in
the end I decided there was only one course of action - to do it
and see what happened. It was a gamble from the off as conversion
isn’t cheap, but there were reasons why I wanted to convert,
and those I’ll cover later. For now all you need to realise
is that in 2008, I took my 2005
Toyota Landcruiser diesel car and had
it converted to
run on vegetable
oil, the sort you’d happily
cook your chips in.
If you're interested in doing something similar to your vehicle,
perhaps you saw the Chop Shop - Angry Frog episode, then hopefully the content of this website will help you make a sensible,
informed
decision.
