I have a buddy that runs cooking oil in his 03 New Beetle TDI. Same performance number as the stock motor, according to a dyno chart he did recently...! -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of John Rodgers Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 11:52 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: [VANAGON] " you fixed it with what?!" There was a guy in Alaska that for a few years drove a Rabbit diesel using discarded cooking oil. He would collect it, filter it, then add 15% kerosene. Never did hear the long term results of running the engine on this stuff, but he was around for quite a while. |
