Veg burning mpv?

Post by scotty73 »

Do any of you know of any model mpv's running on veg oil? (that are any good) a mate of mine got pranged by an old guy last week so is thinking mpv around the £900 mark?

Never looked into veg oil myself so dont know of any models that can do it. :?

Old 806s, Citroen Synergieses, Fiat Ulysseses use XUDs

Then there is the option of older Berlingos, Partners etc.

An LDV 200 minibus was fitted with an XUD, if there were a lot to carry

Ithink if iwas looking for a mpv, and wanted to run on veg oil,
iwouid be looking for an old but tidy ford galaxy, with the AHU engine code,

there about the only mpv ive had that feels like a car, everything else ive had mpv wise as been Garbage,
the galaxy is about the best mpv out there ithink altho the modern ones wont last long on veg oil theyd need the twin tank conversion,

the fiat u will sees and all that ilooked into them and there one ugly motor
but iguess if your using one as a work horse it dont matter, for travelling about in id recomend the galaxy its one comfy motor and drives like a car not a van

Cheers lads i'll let him know, he's not after a workhorse it's to run the family around, we saw a 9 seater transit about a month back on ebay but people ask him for lifts enough as it is so he's not to sure about that option. :lol:

The cheapest option in the Mpvs is the Nissan serena, (If your brave enough to drive one )
the insurance on them is Peanuts, and they come with 8 seats,

Ford transits are pricey, ithink at a price range of 900 quid you wouid just about find an old smiley face .. not easy to find one that dosent come with gallons of filler on the arches,
