Re: [Peugeot-L] 604 TD with vegetable oil?

Hello Brian,

thanks for this most informative link!

However, I have some trouble with not mixing up all the various fuels in our languages :-)

SVO means "straight vegetable oil" this should be the same as "rape oil"?

And there are give a lot of instructions of how to make your own "Biodiesel".

Is that the same Biodiesel that is available commercially as "Biodiesel" or "RME"?

Also I am aware of the problems that Biodiesel can introduce to the fuel system's rubber parts of older cars.

Do you know, or can point me to a further source, where I can find info about these parts regarding the 604 TD? Or can I just use it without conversions? The car should remain to be able to also run on fossile Diesel, of course.

When using the car on long-range trips, is there a problem if I fill it up with e.g. 20-30 litres of SVO in between, that means AFTER having started and warmed-up the engine on fossile or Biodiesel?

I did the latter some times with my old Mercedes 300D W123 on long trips. Nothing was converted. After warming up the car (e.g. by simply driving it to a SVO fuel station that is about 10 kms from my home) I filled it up with SVO, e.g. 30 litres if the trip was approx. 400 km, and before arriving at the destination filled up with fossile Diesel again, to make sure I won't have to consider any SVO cold start issues.

with many regards,
Thomas
