free fuel
but you can only use 2,500 which in the t2 is 13,750 miles a year i dont even do 10,000 miles lol like the sound of that i would get 16,500 miles all for free, the piss take is though if i was in cornwall i have access to about 100ltrs of free oil per week and i would save on the pick up of it as well |

Just for the record, my vote against WVO and home-brew bio-diesel!
The latter is possibly OK but I can't be fagged with the inevitable filter changes required when it first strips your fuel system of shite - plus you don't get rid of the chemical catalysts that are used to process it (not with home-brew anyway, petrol forecourt is an entirely different matter)...and theres little evidence for what it might do to your motor long-term. So run it in an old banger but not your pride and joy is my advice! The former sucks period. Filter it as much as you like, what you won't get rid of are all the shite compounds and chemicals you get that DON'T exist in diesel, animal fats, acids, large amounts of water and other weird solvents etc... SVO wins every time. |

The T2 is an excellent all rounder, alternatively buy a nice bently for the road and a JCb for off road LOL |

Its daft to accuse a T2 of being incapable in, say some pay 'n play quarry site, when even a Landy thats straight out of the box probably won't be any better. But to give Toyota its due, their 4x4 pedigree is every bit as long and good as Land Rovers, and in recent decades has steamed ahead on the quality front. |

sorry un true mate ,my oil is cleaner than svo iam down to 0.1 micron.and oil has been lab tested
done 10,000 miles on dongo so far(nice tidy waggon) 40,0000 miles on t4 my mates done 100,000 miles and know loads of other doing the same for years. With the right kit on the right fuel pump,good oil,its fine. wrong kit,wrong bio,wrong fuel pump= pumps break. Only change filter once year on service,running on aprox 95% veg in main tank,and diesel in seperate tank,only switches over when coolant up to temp,then passes through heatexchanger and a glow plug in a heating loop. oil hits pump at 60 oc nice and thin,then i shut down on diesel ,thus starting on diesel in morning. You hear oh probs when people just throw it in and it blocks the filters. Iam not here to push it on you,to be honest i would rather you dont use it,more for me... how much would 50,000 miles cost you? |
