2000 K74 and 2003 K74 Veg oil ?

#1 by MezBeg ( Guest ) , Fri Oct 22, 2021 7:22 pm

Hi again, new member but not had confirmation as yet.
So, my 2001 k74 l200 has run with zero issues for four years on 50% pump diesel and 50% new vegetable oil. My 'new' 2003 l200 has a catalytic converter bypass but at present (without going up to work to check) has the rest of the ERG, ECU etc, etc 'gizmos' fitted. My question is, based on this information, can I still run my 'new' 2003 l200 on 50%pump diesel/ 50% new vegetable oil mix without issues ?? Thank you in advance.

In summer yes...winter you may find the mix is a little thick in the colder months so maybe more diesel than veg oil. As you've used veg before you probably already knew that lol...but the basics of the engine between a 2000 and 2003 are similar enough to run veg oil in both
