Veg Oil Converted VW Transporter T4 Camper Van (sold)
Sorry, but the van sold.
However, its conversion is featured in my book —————————>>>>>>
I posted this van for sale on my web site as a favour to my brother, it took quite a while to sell but it has a new owner now. I’m leaving this page up for information only, this page gets a lot of Google hits from both people looking for a van to buy and from people looking for information about converted vans.
I’d also be silly to not take this opportunity to point out that if you are looking for information on how to convert your T4, or any other diesel engine, to run on vegetable oil, SVO / WVO / PPO or whatever you want to call it, or on how to make biodiesel, is available in my book, link on top right of this page, HERE —>

Multi-fuel conversion:
Van has had an Elsbett multi-fuel conversion. Will run on Diesel, Biodiesel or vegetable oil, or any mixture of the three using the original fuel tank. This is a professional conversion from the German diesel engineers Elsbett who have been building engines to run on vegetable oil since the 1970s. This is the best conversion on the market today, and the only one that comes with a FULL GUARENTEE not to damage your engine. For further details see: www.elsbett.com. A full guide to the conversion and service manual are provided with the vehicle. The use of these fuels is completely legal and if you use vegetable oil and biodiesel on a small scale (up to 2500 litres a year – enough for over 20,000 miles in this vehicle) then it is completly free of fuel duty – quite an advantage in these uncertain times of spiraling diesel prices.

The van has been well looked after and as you should be able to see from the photos is in overall excellent condition. The only problem that I am aware of is an small area of bubbling in the paint at the bottom edge on the rear window – see close up photo for details.
The van has a full service history and has just had a service at 52,000 miles including new brake pads. I have all original documents, all old mot test certificates, all receipts for work, and two sets of keys.
