an Liquid Frying Oil using on diesel engine

Datatek · Dec 27, 2011

Heating oil in France is the same as red diesel everything runs fine on it, won't risk it in the car because the Gendarmes have an electronic gadget they stick into your tank that can tell exactly what you are running on.

I know it's a bit off subject but if you mix 5 litres of petrol & 15 litres of heating oil you get TVO and I run my old tractor on it

It won't last long, TVO is Tractor vapourising oil. Red diesel to you. Mixing heating oil which has few lubricating properties and petrol which has no lubricating properties is going to fook your injector pump up. Petrol is the last thing you want to be mixing heating oil with for that use. A little in diesel in winter is fine but nothing like that ratio of mix.

My tractors doesn't have a pump to fook it has a carb! The recipe was given to me by the old chap I got the tractor from. The heating oil I use is clearish... And if it was going to fook up my engine I think it would've happen in the last 7 years... ;-)
