biodiesel - veg oil

Post by jon_ »

I have a yr 99/2000 S40 diesel does anyone know whether suitable for 50% mix of vegetable/diesel? I have read that you can not do this if your injector pump is a Lucas and you can if it is a Bosch - anyone know who makes Volvo's pumps and is anyone runing their car on vegi oil?

Volvo S40 has a Bosch fuel pump that is fine for vegi oil - 50% winter & 75%+ summer. :P
