Should block up the oil galleries nicely when it mixes with the mineral oil. Andy West Midlands |

I'm rather tickled by the idea that you could "run" an engine on healthy quantities of Flora sunflower oil. Hmm, polyunsaturated.... should help keep the cholesterol down...

it's ok as a fuel except it wears out the diesel pump - but if you're doing high miles you'll save enough to just buy another one off the shelf. As a lubricant? no. Castor oil is different, it's very good, it's used as the lubrcant in model aeroplane engines and they'll rev to 25,000 RPM, go figure ;) |
