Does anyone run their's on veg oil of any mix?
Usually if they have an old style diesel engine with a bosch fuel pump they are fine 50/50 mix with no mods at all, thought id ask as Asda have it on offer at 40p a litre at the moment.

Thanks
 
Not a Merc, but I ran a low-tech Polo on 50/50 and the injectors didn't atomise it fully when cold giving a knock from cold, but worse it got past the rings into the sump making the oil sticky. Time to stop!
 
ASDA has veg oil at 40p per litre? Is that right?

If it is 40 p a litre I will have a thousand litres please, 2 thousand if they have it!!!!
 
Best get down to Asda then as I got 100 litres for a mate today!

Anyone fancy answering the original question? :)
 
Quite a few people run the OM605 and OM606 on straight or waste veg, ranging from 100% in Summer to 90% veg /10% petrol in Winter.
 
£1 per litre is the cheapest veg oil in the huge ASDA nearest me.
