got a couple of 10ltr ones from Tesco the other day.... think I paid about £11 each? They did do a 5 ltr for about £4 but not had any for a couple of months now .... will check out COSTCO as they used to do 20ltrs for about £20

i have run mine on 100% veg so I wouldn't worry about it, when you start it it will use the fuel in the line and the returning fuel and the motion of the car would soon mix it.

Is the ktc stuff from Costco any good? I fancy trying mine but just got a few concerns, suppose if I try 20 lts it wouldn't cause any serious damage |

More seriously though, both diesel and petrol will mix of their own accord in veg oil - there's a chemical name for stuff that mixes without outside help but I can't remember it. Either (or both) will remain mixed with veggie when sitting in the tank, you don't even need to rock the truck or drive it like you stole it to make the stuff mix up - but it may make you feel better! |

I have run on 100% rape seed oil in the past, I was just concerned over the viscosity of this GM stuff at 100% as apparently it sets like lard at around 5 degrees C and we haven't seen the last of the frosty mornings yet. I often put a small amount in the fridge to see what happens, but I'm not buying 20 litres just for a cup full
So I may stick to the slightly more expensive rape seed oil for a while longer |

bear in mind, i don't have a twin tank, or the room for one, and if your tank is inside the car it is to a large extent pretty well insulated.
