ie the more you drive, the more your tank fills up, so after a long journey, you take some out and use it to fill your wife's car. This will take some time...... working on it.... might involve a Land Rover again though.....  might involve a Land Rover on the back of an AA relay truck... Oh no dipping the AA trucks fuel tank.... Got it..... It does involve a Land Rover on the back of an AA relay truck, Now most cars don't burn fuel 100% so you could stick a pipe on the AA trucks exhaust, and as long as you don't die of carbon Monoxide poisoning, you could extract the unburnt fuel from the truck, process it, filter it, and then transfer it to your fuel tank. Sorted. Patent applied for... My idea... Rustic

I am doing around 20-22mpg on 100% veg oil
Drops to 14mpg when towing 1t trailer And then down to 9mpg when towing another car on the trailer (around 2 tons, probably), all on veg oil. |

I am not running the risk of being banned by a moderator again.... see "Check Engine Warning" Thread...  So I am not saying I've had it over 19 years... Instead:- Next year it will be 20  Reminds me of Uncle Albert... of only Fools and Horses... Del Boy... "If you mention during the war again..." His response was.... I wasn't going to mention the war.... During the 1939 -1945 conflict with Germany....

With the Mrs TDi over 900 miles on our French trip we got 30 mpg now I was driving and that means I give it welly all the time and 70 on our motorways and 110 on the French which are about the same, I guess at a steady 55 this could be improved upon, Rick
