Ok guys, i talked to a good buddy of mine from Oklahoma. He said his friend up there is running his Stroke off pure sunflower oil with no modifications at 95% power......anybody have any info on this or even heard of being able to do this?
Would doubt the longevity of it, not having any mods? Its not good for the injectors with the higher viscosity if its not heated. Or do you mean he has a WVO system?
Sunflower oil is Vegi oil.
Peanut oil is vegi oil
Soybean oil is Vegi oil
Saflower oil is Vegi oil
Diesels burn vegitable oil quite well and in fact were originally designed to do so. But the oil has to be hot to lower the flash point for combustion as well as to help it to properly atomize through the injector.
He has gotta be thinning it with something - kero and gas...
