"Consumer pride rape seed oil" is the only thing I run on, put 40 Ltrs in then £10 u leaded petrol on top when cold

Tried ktc soya and it ran terrible and the mil light came on

Been running this for 18 months
 
i can be exact with ours as iv just counted the empty containers behind my shed so far i have run over 600 litre of ktc veg oil in our T2 i mix 10% unleaded with every 20 litres except during the much warmer summer when it was 100% svo so far no problems at all i cant put the no 1 injector failing down to it im sure that was going long before i started using svo and there prone to going any ways

ruff calculations derv at 1.40 per litre x 600= £840
svo at 80 pence per litre x 600 = 3480

so a saving of about £360 ish

yes i know i have to buy the unleaded but its still a saving we bought a yearly family pass with it and have been going to all the themes parks every other week for free the kids have loved it if i could find a decent wvo supplier or supply i would make my own bio am still thinking of doing that with the svo if it works out cheap enuff then no worries of temp of the fuel in the tank with s udden cold snap

my fav clip from the internet on how easy it is to make bio is here

so so simple but they do have the sun to help

ps a traffic cop mate of mine was telling thats its an offence to carry a full petrol or derv can inside a vehicle blah blah blah when i mentioned we always took a 20 litre cubie of svo away with us just in case we ran low, its veg oil its a food so no offence committed i said, fair play he said lol
 
Svo, now from first meeting makeitfit. Ive used 3574 liters since 19.5.2010

Diesel 3574 @1.40 = £ 5003.40
Veggie @.80p = £ 2859.2

NOT SAVED JUET DIDNT SPEND ON FUEL

£ 2144.20
