Default 86.9p per litre in Essex

bio diesel @ 86.9p per litre
BRETTS GARDEN CENTRE
WHITE RODING

Good old fashioned service as well, they fill up for you!

I have been running mine on it for over a month now and its good stuff with little if no performance loss over conventional diesel.
I am gonna have to wait for a cold spell to see if its any use then.

Hope this save a few pounds for a few of you out there

i stick with taking a trip over the border, i was down at sligo at the weekend and i found a pump at 84 cents a litre so i filled up and luckily i had the wife's drum with us for her diesel, money i saved i bought a feed for the my wife 2 kids and there partners, so what i gain at the pump i lost to the robbing sods that charge a fortune in the restaurant.

my brother-in-law has a bmw and has been running on cooking oil for a few years it goes though alot of filters i noticed, btw it had to have a new engine last month because while cleaning up the yard one of the lads moved the 200 gallon container and without realising it he has shaking all the settlement laying at the bottom and when some got transferred to the bmw it just wrecked it, he trailered it to a diesel service station 30 miles away and on a quick examination he demanded the vehicle be removed asp as he does not entertain what has been used for fuel anyway i help him to another place and in the end it was beyond repair and a new engine needed, when fixed we collected i drove the bmw and i raced all the way home and to me ran great next morning got ask did i notice anything rattling as the oil was shooting under pressure out of the top it ended up the turbo had gone as well, £2300 in costs

Be careful storing fuel at home. There is a limit at what amount you can have. Check with your fire service petroleum department. Over an amount you need permission which is easily sort as long as you meet the regs.
