Does anyone have any infomation regarding running a Landy on avtur?? like what sort of lubricant you need to run in it as well? cos there aint too much diesel out here in the desert.

isn't that jet fuel?

back home, we use that fuel to race with high-performance engine. I have no idea what avtur will do to LR engine, I don't think it's gonna work though...it's like 100 octane.

If memory serves, there are some jet fuels that are nothing more than a highly refined diesel oil with a few additives - it may work, but I know absolutely nothing about it...

I Know For A Fact This Stuff Works But Am Thinking It Aint Doin The Engine Allot Of Good, It Runs Fine No Drama's But I Am Only Adding A Bit Of Engine Oil To Degrade The Fuel And Put A Bit Of Lubricant Through The Engine. I Just Would Like To Know What Sort Of Ratio's I "should" Be Using

I used to run JP5/JetA1 in a Volvo Penta diesel. I mixed it 15/1. The oil used was a mil spec 40wt. I'd use something like lucas oil stabilizor which is a pure oil rather than regular motor oil as to avoid using detergents meant for crankcase oil.

Land Rover's 'Expedition Guide' says that diesel engines can be run on kerosene, Jet-A or old low-sulphur diesel if you add a couple of tablespoons of clean engine oil for every 50 litres (which I think is about 13 US Gallons).

I wouldn't like to try this in a common-rail diesel like the Td5 or TdV6 though.
