I have some 3 litre brand new bottles of sunflower oil left over from running my previous vehicle on, I am thinking of using a very small quantity in the freelander to use them up, I'm thinking of sticking one 3 litre bottle in per full tank full so around 5%??

Anybody on here run a little new veg oil?? I know it's probàbly not wise in larger quantities due to the more delicate fuel pumps etc but a little can't do any harm.....(hopefully!!) Black FL2

Best use it to fry chips or stick in old diesel VW,definitely not worth risking in a modern diesel.

Veg oil is too viscous for newer engines. I used to make 'bio-desiel' and ran my older VW on it but would not use it or non-converted veg oil in my FL2. I would have thought it ok for an old landy as the old mercs run great on it. I would be concerned even with small amounts of veg oil.

Why would you want to do it

Vegetable oil might be slippery but has no lubricating qualities and is high in moisture content.

Like I have said I would really....to use up what I have left over from another vehicle....I was just going to use 5% if and only if somebody had already done it Black FL2

OK, but why still goes unanswered, why not take it down the local tip and dispose of it.

Errrrr because they are brand new and sealed....  Black FL2

Fair enough, if you are really that hard up to increase the fuel tank volume, I'll donate you a few quid

that is very kind i guess but You have gone off on a slight tangent  Black FL2

Can you just use it in the kitchen?

Someone has to be first. Why not you? Let us all know how you get on.

Seriously though, I wouldn't use it unless you can afford to rebuild your car if it was to break, that's the bottom line.
