To some extent depends on the injection pump -- Is the injection pump on a VW diesel lubricated by the fuel? On most MBs it's lubricated by the engine oil. If the pump is fuel-lubricated you've got to be a bit more careful about what crap you put through it. Any diesel motor will RUN on almost any clean oil, bio-diesel, etc, though it may not be so good for other components. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
