[(RIP) PLANK]

i started a thread on this a few days ago and i'm still lost :confused:

[lacroupade]

Theres a dozen lengthy threads on the subject and the answer is yes - just throw it in.

50/50 SVO to diesel in summer is safe as houses, less or 100% diesel in winter.:thumb2:thumb2

it says "2-Tank-Kit" if i have picked it up right in other threads is that you can get away with SVO as long as you mix it and not go 100% as it must be a problem with starting, my mate has a Disco and it advises a 2-tank system he went from 50/50 and had no bother and running better then ever so he stopped putting diesel in and so in the end it was 100% and running great but the next morning it was cold and had problems starting so he said putting a tenner of diesel does the trick.

im running 100% bio with no problems and my mate has a 2000 model and he is on 100%, i reckon put it in and enjoy getting one over the treasury for a change.:augie:naughty

Iceman thats the reality.

Two-tank kits might be a good idea if you want to run 100% SVO all year round. Other than that, 50/50 is a no-brainer in the 2.7.

thanks all

anything marked 'vegetable oil' is fine. I've been using pure sunflower oil from a 1000-litre IBC and its a dream....

here we go again :augie:augie:augie:augie

Dont be so faceitious , people are just making sure before they do the right or wrong thing , simples ;)

[zippy656]

I must say took me ages to "do it"...

[makeitfit]

It's obviously a popular subject .
I think the basics are lost in some of the miss nomers about the place.
Essentialy VEG OIL, ie Rapeseed, Sunflower, can be added to your diesel at a very safe mix of 50-50 :D (If your a bit meaner like me , you can go pretty much full veggie in the summer, but may have a lumpy start)
BIO FUEL of variuos types at the garage or from specialists in 1000 ltr IBCs is good to go as is INSTEAD of diesel:sly My favourite:thumbs
No running issues other than you'll probably need to cheange your filters after the first few tank fulls, after that you're done:cool:
Enjoy

thats a big word :naughty

Dont blame them but the answers are already out there and as youll see theres still a lot of opinion rather than science ;)

Don't worry WWN, he wasn't being facetious; the lack of sticky threads on the site doesn't help but the use of the Search function will reveal yard upon yard of vergabe on this and other subjects. :thumbs Its just that this stuff has been repeated many many times, trust me LOL.

very good point..... and ive had many complaints about that too.... for one reason or another.

we need a list of popular things / subjects that seem to be asked very often and sticky fixed to the top of each subject. saving lots of time for everyone. and easy to find information...

these sticky threads could be available to non paying members too . thus encouraging more to join.

only problems ...
i cant do it alone

we need clear threads with correct information on and no drivel.

and ok ill be blunt... one or 2 new moderators. due to the lack of attendance from current mods.

this might save lots of pointless and sometimes wrong info floating about.

oh and another thing. the pub section should be as is for banter and fun .... drivel as some call it.
but the tech sections really need to keep closer to ON TOPIC ... you wouldn't believe the complaints i get

I reckon diy this is one of those things thats a cracking good theory but in practice :eek: A methanol producer/broker of my acquaintance describes making this stuff in your garage as one of the most dangerous diy pastimes going.

Have a look at the risks. They greatly outweigh the benefits for those of us living in suburbia :D
