It will not work unless your lawn motor was a diesel engine.

Perhaps you could if the mower had a diesel engine.

Unless by lawnmower you actually mean a diesel tractor, no.

Answer 5

You need a diesel.However I mix veggie with gas for 2 stroke engines.Smells good and better.

Answer 6

Not a petrol one,no.

Here's a green alternative for you though.

Get a push/pull one like my dad had 35 years ago.

Answer 7

Answer 8

No you cant...

Here is a simply rule you can use to understand fuels, and what you can put into engines.  If an engine has a spark plug, then it runs on gas/petrol.  If it does not, then it uses diesel or pretty much any light oil.  (NOTE: Glow plugs are different than spark plugs)

Answer 9

You can power a deisel engine on cooking oil, however I have not heard of a deisel powered private use lawn mower, so I wouldn't recommend trying it.

Answer 10

You cannot mix it with Petrol !  

Cooking oil can be mixed with Diesel in cars and lorry's
