[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 289392, member: 175144"] Mr Diesel based his high compression engine on fuels derived from vegetable matter some 90 years ago, however the petroleum companies saw the benefits once the prototypes were running. I would suggest only older engines are run on alternative non-mineral oils, the newer ones have much higher pressure injection systems that require the special lubicants that are present in the fuel at the pumps. Additionally any temperature changes have a direct impact on the ability for the chip oil to be sucked from the tank to the engine, and night-time/winter may cause the stuff to solidify in the fuel lines. Of course any manufacturers warranty goes out of the window, and you should notify your friendly Customs and Excise officer of your weekly use of oils that are sourced outside the garage forecourts.
