As in what you cook chips in (not biodiesel).

I guess I mean engine rather than car.

HDi: No.

So, are there any?

i havnt read anywere that any new car will run on it.

seems the only ones are the old diesel engines fitted pre 98

the visocity is to high for current lift pumps used in most common rail diesel engines these days .

would be good to hear that some1 out there has tried it and succeded

Even if there was, I much prefer the sound of an XUD on a cold morning...

Ahh how I miss bernard

Its as slow as an old diesel

I think its any car with direct injection cant run on veg oil.

Perhaps something like the new toyota hilux can run on it, its definatley a strong enough engine to try it out on.

if i was to go down the veg oil route id buy a 405 as opposed to a d8, the same xud engine i think the 405 is a tad lighter though, and less electrics.

Ive noticed the 406 as some 405 bits on it,
not many tho,
but the radio stalk thingy resembles a 405 one, can ifling that out and
add a more Moder - ner one ?

Its not out yet but it wont be in long it makes the car look abit Heinz 57

was there a d8 and d9 405. my two uncles had one of each.
The older 405 was a good reliable workhorse, got treated like shite and went on all day.
The newer one was a well specced car, my dad borrowed it one day to go to work and the engine blew, timing belt was the issue, the second engine was a bad engine which had head gasket issues, the third engine was great, that car went like a clock after it.
I preferred the look and interior of the newer one, it was black, with allows, fogs, and a spoiler it looked very good back then, especially compared to my dads carina of the time.
