As I recal the order of preference on oils is

Palm oil

Rapeseed oil - often just sold in the UK as Vegetable oil - read the label

Sunflower oil

Soya oil

The order is due to viscosities and freezing points.

In the UK palm oil is not widely available and so is expensive but is the crop of choice for people deliberately growing fuel crops.

The best is peanut oil , believe it or not thats what diesel engines were originally designed to run on (no really I sheet u not)

and sunflower oil runs better than veggie (in my experience anyway)

No Vin looked after Alfred

In all seriousness I often wondered why Diesel was called diesel......sad I know but there you go. As others far more knowledgeable than me have posted it was in fact named after Alfred Diesel who never intended the purveyors of the new fangled motor spirit to get their mitts on it.

Possibly not a good choice on names though,

I think "Do you have a petrol or an Alfred car" sounds much nicer as a question

Whoever posted that needs to substantiate it.....just try googling Alfred. Batmans butler is about all you'll find..

I happily stand corrected

theres loads about rudi around the web bit lacking on Alfred

http://www.whatprice.co.uk/advice/tr...e-history.html

also alludes to his demise

However I reckon "lets pop down to the garage and get some Rudolph" sounds even better than Alfred

No idea Zip, but since its easily accessible at the back r/h side of the engine bay as you stand in front, have a gander....the word B-O-S-C-H will be a giveaway....

If it is, you're home and (crisp 'n) dry....
