Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / July 2006Smurfs and used cooking oil
Me mate's one won't have any part in it, actually dies to the point of stalling while driving up a hill. Me 'lux with 7% or so Shellite runs to 90 to 95% the performance of ordinary diesel with Shellite mixed in with the boiled/filtered cooking oil - and can still wheel spin. Only got 15 mins or so to look into it today, however that's weird?!?!. There is electronic management shite on Smufs though. I'll have to take a look at how everything is set up, however now have two puzzles to solve: (a) in me purely mechanical 'lux used cooking oil and shellite is almost as good as bought diesel why? (b) it don't work for a Smurf with pretty much the same engine why? > Me mate's one won't have any part in it, actually > dies to the point of stalling while driving up a hill.

Is there any monitoring as to the type of fuel , I have an interest in the answer re bio. > Is there any monitoring as to the type of fuel , I have an interest in > the answer re bio. I'll have to study up on it, and perhaps have a bit of a play around with the Smurf this weekend to work out what the (no)go is. Meanwhile I'll boil up some more oil for me 'lux in the background :-) >> Is there any monitoring as to the type of fuel , I have an interest in >> the answer re bio.

IIRC you have an aftermarket turbo and have not altered the already considerable compression ratio. Smurf came with a turbo from the factory, so I wonder what it's compression ratio is. >>(a) in me purely mechanical 'lux used cooking >> oil and shellite is almost as good as bought [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Smurf came with a turbo from the factory, so I wonder what it's > compression ratio is. From memory the engine I had was 17:1 the NA 2.4L i think is 20:1 Kev |
