Discussion
Good afternoon/evening
I'm looking for some advice, I posted this in the EV/alt fuel section but found no response...
This weekend I'll be heading to take a look at a 2000 Volvo V70 PH2, with the older 2.5tdi engine
From scouring the internet it seems that it should be possible to run this car on svo, the supermarket stuff. Later on perhaps I will experiment with wvo. Does anybody have any experience of running on veg oil with this engine?
I believe it's the same one used by Audi and VW...
The plan for the car is the perfect roadtrip car for Europe
Further, it seems that the world land speed record for a veg oil car is 155mph. Perhaps with a bit of tuning up to say 300hp the old girl could break that and become the fastest car in the world (powered by veg oil)
Any thoughts?
Best,
Mark

I ran my Musso on veg oil from Tesco, but it could run on other oils too, but I didn't try.
The inline filter had to be changed every now again, but it ran fine. You can get 25l oil from Costco or suchlike and it works out pretty cheap. I didn't bother with that and still worked out about £1/litre.
Also the truck could be run on diesel and oil mixed in together, so it doesn't have to have as much impact on the engine as 100% veg fuel option
