If you've got a Bosch pump (like some Trannys) then yes. But if it's a Lucas pump then no, it might run for a while but you'd be on borrowed time.

I think the Transits with a Bosch pump can.
As far as I'm aware you cannot get a 1.8 Lynx engine with a Bosch pump. Would be good if you could

Ive done it with a few fords. escort van. Mondeo td. anything thats not commorrail really will be ok. if its fresh veg oil just put it straight in. Obviously used will require filtering. probably run 50 5o in winter for ease of startup. unless your car had a pre heated diesel filter like my old cavalier td had

even if it has a lucas pump it will run it - you just have to mix some diesel in with it too - ran it on my mondeo turd for ages
