Thats shocking that you cannot find an biodiesel pump in CA... I would thunk all them liberal bunny huggers would have mandated 100% BD by now...As for runnin' anything through a CP3, I could not say what that would do. I dunno if lube is required for a CP3 at all? Vp44 IP is a totally diff. beast than a cp3.Let alone, you would not be able to just take canola oil from the shelf and throw it right into the tank...With the cp3 pressure thats developed, I would be a little concerned about polymerization as well.

In germany thy were dumping conola oil (100%) into their Merz and VW's to evade the road tax. Stait of the shelf- Aldi was sold out- I think thats been a little too frugal. + the cars smelled like a Hamburger Joint driving by.

1. I dunno what kinda of injection pressure those cars run. I would not personally put straight canola in my fuel unless I were to refine it. Older vehicles like the 12v cummins can eat waste veggie oil no problem with a little filtration.2. If your buying canola off the shelf for a lubricant instead of a supplement, I still think you would be better ahead than 2-stroke. In a pinch? Only if it were refined. The vp44 would not like it, I'm sure.If you used it for a source of fuel, that would be spendy... A gallon of canola compared to diesel, thats a huge difference.

I've read about the benefits of 2 stroke oil and especially 2%biodiesel. Since I can't buy that in the ethanol state CA( :doh: surprise !!! ) how about cannola oil to lube that CP3 ? Thanks Hanno

You may not be able to find 2%pump bio, but I bet you can find pure soybean oil at a county farm supply... By that I mean a place where they sell bulk fertilizer, and chemicals. Oddly enough here in NE Oklahoma we only have #2 ULSD?? and pure bean oil is $3.59 a gallon. I plan on trying it in my tractors this summer. As for my truck I`m playing it safe with the two stroke
