Fuel costs are killing me so how to run on veg oil?

[terranosaurusdoug]

OK so this is the setup I'm running now and have been running 90% - 100% SVO for around 6 - 7 months now and the car has been fine apart from getting Code 21 which I'm still yet to resolve, I'm trying to run 100% to prove a point and I'm still going.

Veg Mods so far

No harder than it was to plumb my heat exchanger in.

Hey lads and lassies. A few answers to comments I know its a big old house brick beast but its great at towing a 3tonne trailor maxed with stone through fields but im looking at around 30-35k miles this year, my mate runs a shogun 3.2 did does roughly same job but gets 33mpg easy so thought id see if I could improve it as I love the terrano its ACE!! That 40litre then diesel sounds great cheers for the brilliant help again this forums great. Cheers

When I had a Diesel Troll, I'd do my weekly shop at Tesco and use my club card, then get £40 cash back to pay for my Veg oil and pay cash and not use my club card. No big Brother.. that said I didn't do 3k miles a year anyway. But when diesel was 1.40+/l and Diesel was 90p it was a saving:thumb2
