People say that it ruins the seals in the pump iirc. Some pumps can run for years without a problem, whereas others will give up after a couple of weeks, if not days. Depends how lucky you're feeling as to whether or not you run veg on a Lucas really.

Put it in and find out I hurd of a few people do it with out issue and other people put some in start it and pump shit it's self soon as it pulls it though, just have a bosch at the ready to stick on and go for it see what happens.

Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones as I ran out of diesel and had 40l of veg on the boot and just stuck 20l in seems to be running fine but I guess I should mix it really

Bosch is self lubricating Lucas isn't
Due to lack of lubrication pump could seize chuck cambelt off any hello new engine
RE: View on Lucas pump (Veg) - daniel909 - 23-06-2014
So would it help if I put some 2stroke in to help the lubrication
RE: View on Lucas pump (Veg) - Piggy - 23-06-2014
maybe...
it would help it even more if you removed it and put it on the shelf...then fitted a bosch. the lucas pump wont stop you driving then

It will fail, its just a matter of time, up until it fails, it will run perfectly

99% of the xud engines I see on cars for sale all have Lucas pumps. I'm yet to find one with a Bosch pump?! Is there a particular age or model that comes as standard with Bosch pump or was it totally random?
RE: View on Lucas pump (Veg) - Piggy - 27-06-2014
Ph1s much more common
RE: View on Lucas pump (Veg) - toseland - 27-06-2014
think it was something like pre-96... peugeot are very much like the santana built suzukis in that respect.. what it should be, and what they had on the shelf at the time are always 2 very different things
