Hi, does anyone have any information regarding the modification of a 2002 Prado to suit veggie oil - Has anyone carried out this modification?

I understand that one component of the conversion is modifying the the existing tank setup. there are 2 tanks that feed each other - one tank would be needed for for diesel and the other for veggie oil.

any help and ideas would be much appreciated!

I am running a 2004 Prado diesel with the 1KZ motor. It runs well on veggie with about 20% diesel added.

No modifications to the vehicle. I have had a couple of issues:

    : Lumpy idle when not using enough diesel in the mix.

          - I now always add about 20% diesel to the tank at each fill

    : Fuel primer pump diaphragm leaked air into fuel system causing loss of power at full throttle.
          - Replaced filter head/ primer pump

I have added an electric fuel pump to prevent further air leaks into the fuel system. It is mounted in the engine bay close to the filter and sucks fuel from the tank , delivering it to the filter. I sourced power from the fuse box. accessory fuses. No further issues.
