Hi Bri hope the hols are going well,

That oil..........wouldnt touch it. First off on principal hes making a killing on that!

More importantly though theres a chance reclaimed oil could contain animal fats (hard and dont burn well in engines) and other contaminants, just not worth the chance when Ive never seen svo more than 90 a litre

and theres always a tesco or a makro not tooooooo far away

Seems a bit steep when you can buy SVO from tescos at 80p and no doubt much cheaper at Makros and the like.
Larger quantities of new Rapeseed oil is 67p a litre for an IBC. I've been thinking about reading up on the aditives to make it more Bio like, to save mixing with diesel

Shall we start a list of hints on how to get it into the tank? equipment needed?

I kick it off, rearrange and use:

how about this, get an empty veg oil bottle, cut the bottom off, put the neck in the tank and bingo a tank filling device.

You need to do local research. The reason is places like Tesco our area sometimes dont stock some of the lines on offer so it doesnt matter what good value they are, similarly Makro here had no offers on a while back whereas makro Bristol was near enough half price.
