Keith and All Thanks for the word of caution when assuming that commercial biodiesel is all high quality.

Re: [Biofuel] Running Toyota Landcruiser (HDJ80) on WVO?
Julian I have been running B100 in my 1986 BJ74 Land Cruiser ( four cylinder turbo diesel ) for two years now and have noticed only positive differences ( less noise, smooth idle, etc ). It actually seems to have more power. I have been buying commercially made biodiesel so the quality is consistently high.

Are you thinking of running it on biodiesel made from WVO, or on the WVO itself?

[Biofuel] Running Toyota Landcruiser (HDJ80) on WVO?
An enterprising local farmer has started making and selling 100% Biodiesel from WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) and is selling it for 85pence per litre (about 10-15% less than we normally pay for diesel here in the UK). Has anyone here experimented with running their HDJ80 on WVO? Initial research indicates that it should run fine, but I would appreciate some feedback from anyone actually running the stuff in their 80. -- Regards, Julian Voelcker Mobile: 07971 540362 Cirencester, United Kingdom 1994 HDJ80, 2.5" OME Lift ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
