running on wvo

[davenclaire]

I run mine on KTC GM soya oil from Costco, 88p per litre last time I got some.
This last week I went for the 10% petrol method and it's been fine. I used to do 50/50 to 80/20 diesel depending on the weather. I have been doing this for the last year and over 16,000 miles - no problems for me.

same here ktc veg oil in plastic cubes wrapped in card board no probs at all plus 10% petrol when its warm and upto 20 when its cold

4000w wow thats not cheap to run.my lecy is 12.35p a unite so .50p an hour if your on a cheap night rate thats the way to go.
as i have said i am experienced wvo user and it seem that you do not do much to the t2 to run it on wvo.
any one fitted a flat plate heat exchanger on theirs.
my wvo is in a big settling tank and if i get a water problem i put the wvo into a qubee and that goes into my chest freezer till nice and hard.
i then take it out and as it warms up i pour of the good oil and the crap goes into my home made wood burner logs.no wast at all.

put in 5ltr derv and 5lre rug with 45ltr wvo with acetone and it seams ok even with the extra cold we have had.will put more wvo in when its had a run.
i am still weening the t2 onto wvo.

I use to make bio-diesel but after 1 accident too many i decided to go the easy way and just filter......
