Hello group,

I live in a climate where annual average temperatures are around 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I would like to run veggie oil in a single tank setup, preferably an 90 oil 10 petrol mix, I have heard that inline injection pumps are best for this.
I have the following vehicles avaialble with inline injection pump:
1989 Toyota Landcruiser HJ60 with 2H engine
1985 Toyota Landcruiser BJ70 with 3B engine
1995 Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 with TD42 engine
1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbodiesel with OM617 engine
2003 Ssangyong Rexton with OM662 engine
1997 Ssangyong Musso with OM602 engine


I have read that

i have available to me 80 series landcruiser with 1hz engine with rotary pump , 3rd gen 4runner 1kz with rotary pump and 70 series prado with 3L engine with rotary pump. Can these toyota IDI with rotary pump handle 80 oil 20 petrol mix on single tank setup?

Thanks in advance

People use both those engines with a blend of WVO and petrol, or petrol diesel mix. Not sure that your climate will allow using oils which have a melting point higher than your minimum temperatures, even as a blend.

You may wish to consider a 2 tank system with coolant heated fuel tank, filter and supply and return fuel lines.

Mercedes w123 300D, mix of and Dino diesel upto 80% WVO. A bit of kero helps for colder mornings.
