I'm only just starting to get interested in biodiesel and it's possibilities. I have noticed or been told conflicting stories though about the suitability of biodiesel for the newer style common rail diesel motors. Can someone tell me whether or not they will run on it please? Also any thing to be aware of.
I'm considering getting a new ute and making bio so i need to know if I can buy new or must go 2nd hand and get a conventional style motor.

My Landrover Series 2 td5 has done about 90,000kms on biodiesel. It has a common rail fuel management system. I do water wash my biodiesel throughly so that SG is about 0.84 (fossil is about 0.82). My vehicle runs really well.

GO for it and have a lot of rewarding fun making it.

I'm thinking of a Mitsubishi Triton dual cab, they seem to have the most leg room in the back and the kids are getting taller. Does anyone know anything about how these behave with home made bio diesel.

Is that you wazza!!!!!!!! from dbw!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it's me. What do you know about Triton d/c utes?

piss all and none. all i know is im about the only person i know that does like the look of em

Hi Warren,

I have converted a triton last year to a two tanks system. It is running on home made biodiesel and wvo with no dramas.

Contact gewizztoo for more info.

Cheers

Wow a brand new comman rail triton ute on wvo. i thought ya couldnt run a comman rail car on straight wvo well not for long before it shits itself anyway.

Hi Fitian,

I'm very new to all this, when you say a 2 tank system does that mean it runs on unconverted waste vege oil? Is it the common rail model? I'm thinking of setting up to make biodiesel from waste oil, as from what I've read so far it seems to be a better thing for the motor. Is this correct?

The price of fuel is getting ridiculous and as I'm in a country area we tend to drive a lot and fuel prices are a bit higher than in the city. So I'm asking a lot of questions before I decide to commit myself.

Cheers,
Warren.

who said it was new??
Its an older style triton with rotary pump with IDI.
