DCi on vegetable oil?

[riz]

Is it possible? without damage etc

Wouldn't try it myself likes!

I doubt it. They run too high a pressure I think.

IIRC, you can only run the older diesels on it.

 

[Mike_182]

Indeed - I think PD engines are the best for this kind of s**t.

as daniel said , it will run but not very well and you would need to mix it with thinners or diesel to run right .
as the dci runs 1400bar of pressure and 1600 for the 80bhp and 100bhp . cookiin oil is a bit thick to flow very well at that kinda power .

and on another note they d0 65mg ??? so why any need for cookiin oil ? unless it was just a general question ?

LOL, pennies make pounds.

hmmm decisions decisions,

306 td/HDI or a DCI 80

 

[Mike_182]

dCi 80. Costs buttons to run.

Clio 1.9d. Can run on veg oil ney bother.

Indeed. I miss you.

Is it a commuter for you? I'd have a 306 hdi over a clio, but then i'm not a fan of small cars.

Get a meridian and you'll get half leather, gti-6 wheels, A/C, electrics etc etc. You'll get a really really nice one for under £2k.

I couldnt have put it better myself Daniel, there is a blue 306 meridian on pistonheads for a grand. Steal!

 

[Magic Johnson]

High mileage though! Fair enough the engine lasts forever but the parts attached to it don't lol.

 

[MarcoB]

They do 200k all day long and rarely drop below £1k

 

[Magic Johnson]

The parts won't though.

hmmm i had a 306 hdi lx, i enjoyed driving it , but im not sure whether the DCI would be as fun?

 

[Magic Johnson]

Isn't the Hdi faster than the 80?

Problem is it's a lot riskier to map a 306 HDI than it is a Clio DCi iirc?

dci fuel pump wont run it, needs to be an older diesel engine, commonrail ones run too much pressure
