[R1cho]

[Adz]

That's the only real down side :lol

The smell is very addictive & all you wanna do is munch on chips :lol

please note : dont heat the oil if your running 50/50 or less , Diesel loses its lubrication properties when it warm.

Gets more complicated. What if I add 2 stroke oil?

I think I will just stick with diesel.

I aint using svo but I add 2 stroke to my diesel at a ratio of 1:200, works out at 5ml of 2 stroke to 1 litre of diesel if my math is correct.

If you were to heat it as that's what you would normally run on but then had to top up to get you home making it around 50/50, would 2 stroke oil compensate.?

Adz the heating thing is only about viscosity, i.e. hot treacle is runnier than cold treacle....2-stroke has no effect whatsoever on viscosity.

Plenty of people run on higher ratios without problem, its really only in winter I wouldn't advise going above 50/50.

And theres very little that will tackle the biggest likely issue, that of poor cold starting, cos the startup fuel is already in the pipes. Best solution to the problem is definitely using the Peugeot heated filter assembly as used on most of their diesels and easily available from the scrapper....oh thats YOU now! :thumbs

instead of spending all that money on stuff , why not just run on diesel ? its a lot simpler :augie

Because there are plenty of people on here who have been running 50/50 SVO/Diesel for yonks without modification or problem....in my case paying 50p a litre for sunflower oil. That a good enough reason?

where you get your oil from at the price?

Last lot was from the old Body Shop operation in Newport when they jacked in.....next lot might have to come from somewhere else and probably a bit more expensive but still a lot cheaper than supermaket oil but it won't be hard to find an importer if you are prepared to have a 1000-litre IBC in your garden....

Also thinking of giving this rapeseed oil bloke a go.....

Ta :thumbs

So the 2 stroke oil is purely just for the pump as i thought i.e. extra lubrication :thumbs

On me 2nd full tank now of 100% diesel

3rd will be back to 50/50 :naughty :sly :thumbs

For sale Nissan Terrano II Diesel / Veg Oil conversion - Twin Tank System (Start on diesel, run on veg oil, finish on diesel - great proven system)

122,137 miles MOT until March 2011

Converted from a 7 seater to a 6 seater - in order to accomodate the second fuel tank in the boot - see photo.

Conversion cost me £1100 in 2007 - she has saved me between £500 - 750 a year in fuel costs.

A great little workhorse who has loads of life left in her - will need a lilttle work to get her through her next MOT - a few advisories when she passed in April which I haven;t got around to sorting.

Selling due to the fact that I need a bigger car for a growing family.

Viewing reccomended.
