like you give a toss you liar! ignore it.

as for the misfire, it won't be the SVO, although you do need to have a decent running engine in the first place....have you put any cleaner etc.. through your tank? See if you can blag some acetone off Pete (or I'll bring some down at the weekend) and stick about 150ml in your tank....you're just driving too slow - you saw what 80/20 performed like on the M4...!!!

at 50p a litre do you care????

Ex if you come up to look at the wifes truck, any chance you could bring three of those if its not too far for you to get them and I'll get her to pay you for them? In cash that is ya bad boy!! and let me know when you're coming so I can warn her (to get some money!).

[wellzy]

have you had the 4x4 converted to run on oil or not?

Nothing to convert Wellzy....the Terrano engine is old diesel technology and uses a Bosch fuel pump - both classic candidates for running on vegoil - up to 100% in summer....but we're taking the halfway route and going 50/50 but still cutting fuel costs by 25% as a result. Others have happily gone to higher ratios.

Sounds good, but I always get confused which type of oil to buy - what's SVO?

straight veggie oil

either out of the bottle or strained used oil , no additives

Thanks Darwin,

I'd just assumed it was only the more expensive oils such as rapeseed that were suitable.
