Yes, your best avoiding veg oil with an Epic pump, people have converted to Bosch but its not as simple as just swapping the pump.

If you want a 2.1 on veg you migh tbe bets finding a Bosch XM 2.1, though that is no easy task :lol:
Thanks for the advice mate, its a shame, the last 2 Xantias I had were 1.9, one was a TD and the other was non turbo but they happily ran well on veg oil along with a couple of Pug 406 DTs, I thought the 2.1 was the one to go for but I must have been mis informed, the car goes well, I fiddled with the pumps on the 1.9s and got some extra power but I believe its a no no on these Lucas pumps???

Im not the best person to ask as ive not looked into running on veg. Our 2.1 XM is a Bosch pump variety, though that will never see veg oil.

The 1.9s are probably the best for veg running, as they Bosch pump seems to handle it fairly well.
