[@Freakbeat100]

Rudolph Diesel originally intended the engine to run on vegetable, or cooking oils, firstly peanut oil.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Correct.

[@jasonharrison25]

Actually it was coal dust. But due to it dangerously exploding and almost killing him, he changed to something less dangerous and designed the working version to run on peanut oil

[@paulinhofagundes12]

More than 100 years later we find out it works really good on vegetable oil, even better thant diesel oil. After all, the engine was indeed adapted to work on petroloum based oil after his misteryous death, rumored to have been planned by petroleum companies...

The "wd"-40 is detonating in the high pressure pump because there's air mixed with it. You can put a squirt of that stuff in the pump of a BB gun and it'll detonate on the hand pump alone. Its a way to get lubrication into old BB gun pressure chambers, btw.

[@andresvensson262]

A diesel engine can run on pretty much anything. You can put almost every possibly fuel into a diesel and it will run on it. However, in order for the engine to be reliable with different fuels, the fuels need to be properly filtered and have descent viscosity, otherwise your fuel filter, diesel pump and injector have a risk of clogging up, and in some cases leading to failure. (Edit: The reason for the fuel to need a certain viscosity is the fact that the fuel pump is only lubricated by the fuel i side the pump. To thin and it will soon seize up.)

[@tomtheplummer7322]

There are U.S. military vehicles designed to run on multiple fuels. Gas, alcohol, diesel, and many sub grade oils. I’m sure other countries do as well.

I'm guessing the fake wd-40 is foamy because of the propellent being dissolved in it still. Its essentially carbonated. Start pulling a vacuum on it, pulling it through a fuel line, and the dissolved gas will start boiling out.

[@mfree80286]

All they need to do to confirm is take that half-bottle, get it to room temperature, and shake it a little. Should outgas and foam up, but afterwards *might* actually run the engine.

[@davekauffman8727]

The WD-40 may have had aerosol in it since it came from a spray can. I'm sure it would have worked if you bought the kind that wasn't pressurized. I've successfully ran a snowmobile engine on that stuff. Diesel fuel is kerosene with paraffin wax added to lubricate everything in the system. We are working on a low-cost alternative to diesel fuel called "biodiesel" here in the USA, I wish I had a car with a Diesel engine, that was a great video!

Of course kerosene works, it's used as an anti-gel in cold states in the US. ATF will work as long as it's conventional and not synthetic. As a general rule, a diesel will happily run when these three conditions are met: 1, it burns. 2, it lubricates. 3, it's filtered as to not plug the injectors.

[@puckcat22679]

Even direct injection Diesel engines can run on various other flammable liquids. I think you're confusing direct injection with common-rail. Most Diesel engines are direct injection. Common-rail injection is a Bosch trademarked system that uses a separate high pressure pump with electronic injectors. The Bosch pumps are notoriously finicky about fuel quality, and will fail quickly if you run something that is too thin or has too little lubricity through it. But direct injection engines with a mechanical injection pump or cam-driven plunger type injectors can easily run alternative fuels.

I'd like to comment about something you have said in the video (around 7:15 ). This happened in Spain. About ten-twelve years ago, a bottle (1litre) of sunflower seed was 0,70-0,80 euro cents, whereas a litre of diesel was 1,10. Some people realized what you have proved in the video, namely that sunflower oil is equivalent or even better (and greener, of course) that diesel oil. So lots of people started to use sunflower oil (this plant is widely grown in southern spain) instead of diesel. Petrol companies didnt like that and misteriously sunflower oil price raised about 25 cts. Nowadays it is more expensive than diesel oil. BTW I used it myself in my old Jeep Cherokee and it worked very good.

[@S3l3ct1ve]

It wasn`t the petrol companies. The guys probably had to much harvest, or too much old stock of sunflower oil, so they dropped the price for people. But imagine, how can it be cheaper when you need to use diesel to harvest the sunflowers and after that produce oil.. It cant be cheaper...

@@PLKxR not necesarry.... where i live i never call ATFs by their brand names.. and they are a few.. i just go and say that i want ATF, and they give me for what i need. Maybe he dont have dexron where he live?

Best alternative in my experience is transformer oil tr-25 and tr-30 i tested this and work100% believe-me

Interesting episode, the new guy is good too! Try engine oil next time, curious about the results..

Oh yes, they are now forced to dump that oil for refining, they have to pay for it and do some blank filling at the end of the month... The fines aren`t funny as well :/

[@Jorgen9723]

HAH. i would like to see you try it on a common rail new diesel engine. I doubt those will run. please people only old diesel engines can do this. it will wreck it if its a modern common rail one

[@S3l3ct1ve]

It will eventually. Although vw group cars of ~2000-2005 year still could run this as long as they don`t have PD injectors. Fuel system and a pump aint issue, the issues are with injectors, because the modern PD injectors are very sensitive, the engine probably wont even start or it would shut down instantly...

[@GleepGlop2]

Yes this was covered in the video.

does running on sunflower seed oil make the car "green?"

[@thecelticprince4949]

Na it's amber actually. But will make your car black if you spill it over the paint work.

[@darenzy]

It does. It emits far less "diesel particles" and next no non CO2.

[@unaibautista]

you need virgin olive oil to have a green diesel car, with sunflower oli you only have a yellow diesel car

[@teardowndan5364]

@@darenzy CO2 and H20 are the main combustion byproducts (only ones in ideal combustion) of all simple hydrocarbons and alcohols. The most common other byproducts (at least for gasoline) are CO and NO/NO2 due to non-ideal air-fuel mixing, non-ideal air-fuel ratio, too hot/cold combustion, etc. which are why gasoline engines have catalytic converters.

[@S3l3ct1ve]

well it doesnt, because to make 1ltr of sunflower oil, you probably need close to 2ltrs of diesel burned... Because all the machinery use diesel engines to take the harvest. Also a lot of effort to press it in to the oil. So I think using actual diesel fuel is a better option. There was a study showing that to make 1ltr of Biodiesel, you need to burn 2ltrs of regular diesel in the making... So all that "green dream" crap is actually making the things worse than they actually are. The greenest thing might be using a used cooking oil, so it becomes reusable.

[@idrisddraig2]

For an oldschool diesel like this ATF (Dextron etc) works as a fuel system cleaner!
