No it will perish the seals on the pump. Try and gather a Bosch setup far superior

You'll get away with a light mix, maybe 25-30% but for how long is another question

Could run for 10 minutes, could run for a year. Depends how big your balls are really, but I wouldn't risk it myself. ![[Image: P1060836_zpsz3xgxt7q.jpg]](http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g427/wingnutz2/P1060836_zpsz3xgxt7q.jpg)

I know of a Lucas car that has been running veg as well as old engine oil and anything else lying around.

Who here knows anyone who's actually had a Lucas pump fail on them while running veg? I would just swap to a Bosch anyway

mine was actually a mates 1.5nad.
we had a bosch...thought would see how long a lucas would last/if it was a myth. 50mile later we realised it wasnt a myth Wishes for more power...

A lot of people do say no to this, however my boss had a 405 straight-D with a Lucas pump and he ran it on chip fat oil for over a year with no problems?
