Default Re: Running on Veg Oil

I'm using the 20 litre makro/Cosco stuff in the metal or plastic containers (plastic is the preference, thinner oil).

No issues with the Antifoaming stuff.

I've also heard that for those running Lucas fuel pumps, the fix is very simple to get it running on veg oil. There's a grub screw in the centre of the pump and you turn this one quarter turn IN (not OUT, this will cause major problems) and that'll let it run on Vegie.
