The transits booked in for its MOT on wednesday. I had a problem a while ago with the EGR playing up and filling the inlet fannymold full of oily sludge, so i blanked it off with 2 plates. i cant be arsed taking them off for the MOT but im guessing the emissions will be a bit high?
so i was thinking about sticking some veg oil in as this lowers emissions? i used to run it on veg all the time but couldnt be arsed with the hassle, so i know it runs fine on it.
is there anything saying it has to have the correct fuel in etc.?

depends if you say owt to the tester-does it smoke when you drive up the road?

it's classed as 'diesel type' for fuel so run what you want. as long as it passes you should be fine

just make sure the air filters ok wind the throttle down so they can only rev it to 3 or somin, will fly through, a blanked off egr wont make it fail mot or smoke more

I wouldn't wind the governer down, it's part of the test to inspect it

the blanked egr actually makes it smoke less. And he is going to notice, it fooking stinks on veg!!!

I've bloked off my transit's egr valve and a couple of customers and had no probs with emissions. aslong as the inlet manifold is clean and allowing good flow of air it should be fine.

running veg oil is not illegal, you are allowed to use a certain ammount,

so its not a failure as long as it passes the emissions test

just been having a look round a few other forums and the general concensus is it should pass on diesel, but it WILL pass on veg.... off to tescos

Bit grey this, method of inspection is to only to check its not been tampered with....there's no reason for rejection if it has been tampered with though.

I tested one running veg oil before....it bloody stunk and hurt my throat

I couldnt find any reason for rejection based on smell If it passes the emissions I aint bothered what its running on
