People with bosch pumps..

[RePT]

Whats your main source of fuel?

142.9 at the station?
Veg oil?
Rat piss?(i read on here, it runs on that :p)

[4WayDiablo]

Mostly diesel occasionally veg

Tend not to veg it up in the cold konths

[Dum-Dum]

I was 90% veg and 10% oil, diesel, petrol and anything else flammable I had lying around. When it was really cold I had to start it on lighter gas straight in the inlet cos glow plugs alone weren't enough.

Much more scope for tuning than a lucas pump.

Hmmm

I was hoping my conversion ment i run on veg 24/7. I mean after all thats what im excited about.

Also i need a guide on how to strip down and 'refurb' a bosch pump, if anyone can help there!

dan! deals with all the bosch stuff, hes your best bet.

you can run veg oil 24/7!! in the colder months just add 5ltrs of petrol for every 20ltrs of veg oil roughly. should be fine starting like that.

if it struggles get out and rock the car to mix it up

That's a bit much. I think it's more like 1-2 litres of petrol to a whole tank.

If you can get sunflower oil at a low enough price it is better in the winter as it starts to freeze at a lower temperature.

[CJ_Derv]

Tesco sunflower 5L for a 5er and doesntbfreeze as quick as veg but id mix with petty for winter, and days likebtoday looks a but frosty this morning here lol

Or if you want extra performance ultimate diesel

[THE_Liam]

Currently running pure Asda sunflower at £15 for a 15 litre carton, but cold starts are getting difficult so if I keep the car and don't swap it for that Puma it'll be new glowies and some petrol I think

Only had the bosch over a really cold winter (when it was -10 and below, -30 with the wind chill) and it really needed thinning out so thats why most of it. Running a little bit of engine oil in with the fuel made it run quieter IMO.

Bio-diesel is £1.05 near me bit more than veg but its from a pump so no messing with 25 1L tubs.

iirc Bio- can be a bit harsh on seals, but i may be wrong

[Chris_90]

Heard that too, my old man runs his PD115 Bora on it and ain't no problems yet.

[JackLewis_Dturbo]

ive done thousands of miles on bio diesel on a lucas and it was fine

all depends what the pumps life has been like to whether it will be ok though i guess!

[lolsteve]

Depends on the bio too, if it's good stuff then seals should be fine bad stuff has the chemical that eats them (?)

[CJ_Derv]

Tis very true i sprung a few leaks just on veg but works a treat cleaning fuel lines lol

i think its if they put too much methanol in it...
