whilst looking for ether came across this site.
darrantchemicals.co.uk
good selection of stuff even caster oil.
whats the thoughts on a dribble of ether mixed into wvo to aid cold starts in cold weather.

Panealbeater have you tried 2EHn with your WVO? I used to do that in the Maverick and it was sweet

yes got some but that is like a cetain booster not a compression booster.

i used to make model engine fuell with it mixed with caster oil and paraffin/kerosine,worked a treat.

well i hate to admit it but i made an very old error last week.
my tank was very low after last tripso i thought as i am going on another trip this thursday i will pop into garage and put 5ltr of rug and 10ltr of derv straight into tank then at home i put in 60ltr of straight cleaned wvo like i would do except this time wvo was filtered when air was a bit warmer,also from a new supplier of it.
i put wvo in took it for short drive then parked up. for 4 days.
last weekend temp dropped and had frosts,not usually a problem when i pre mix my mix and add to tank.
so needed to go and have a dressing changed it was early and cold and turned over and over but did not fire so decided to give it a shot of easy start,never used on t2 befor,so where to put it in.
i decided to undo pipe after maf and gave a short squirt and turned it over and started straight away made short rattle and ticked over.
left it running and reconnected pipe and off i go.
that tells me no fuel when i tried first and it is a new battery.
return journey started fine.
so am thinking a bit of ether in tank will give it the extra kick when very cold.
