Isnt all of this carbon neutral, mans killing the planet, temperatures are changing and we are solely responsible really just a load of bollocks and a variant on the modern craze of guilt tripping?

Surely its the inevitable next ice age en route and you can hug as many trees, recycle as many glass bottles (carefully splitting green and brown from clear) as you can be bothered to but the planets going to change anyhow :confused:
 
daved, I agree totaly!

we just swap one sort of polution for another.

I see people sitting in a traffic queue for 20 mins with the engine running to put a copy of the times, a shiraz bottle and a marmalade jar in a recycling bin, and drive back to the office feeling smug!

so if yo save a few quid using veg oil or bio fuel etc. fair enough, im all for saving money

but i think it is important we dont delude ourselves we are come kind of eco warriors or saving the planet by doing it!

the planet will do what it does, and we are arrogant to think we can do anyhting to change it! we are just like fleas on a dogs back!
 
here is my green bit....
if we are using a fuel that costs half as much to buy (svo). we could have a day or 2 every week not driving to work to pay for the expensive diesel

then we would have time to do a spot of gardening and tree hugging. while we chop our logs for the evening sitting in front of the wood burner.

i dont follow this global warming poop... i say the last bit of ice thats fast going, is just the end of the ice age. then it will get warm and it will all burn, cause big clouds of black smoke filling the skies and then we will prob get another ice age

its just how the planet works
ok we aint slowing it down but who cares not me

i just wana save a few quid to feed the family
 
I'm with you on that :thumbs

Our council has gone recycling (and regulation :doh ) crackers. Instead of one bin lorry coming around collecting everything, crushing it and then whatever, yesterday we had three different ones all collecting different things.

And it takes me bloody hours to sort everything into blue boxes, white bags, clear bags, wheely bin, remeber which week it is.................arrrgghhhhhh :D

I wouldn't mind but it all either ends up at the tip anyway, or piled up in some Indian backwater, having been transported there by ships, one of the biggest CO2 producers there are...

Very true indeed , in fact as a bit of an irony our local recycling depot caught fire earlier this week and is still ongoing. Loads of fumes and smoke. Very Green :D
 
Little update - Extreme and I went down to Bracknell last night to see eboy and pick up the tyres he kindly gave me....stuck some more veggie in and ran down there at full tilt on approx 80% - still going really well and no problems....mind you the missus is having a purple fit now shes found out, especially as I stayed in Abingdon all weekend working on the house with Extreme, but I've said I'm going down next weekend - trouble is I'm turning up Friday with a 1000-litre tank of veggie on the trailer collected from Newport, and Sat am I'm on Team Wales camping weekend! still you've got to have some quality time eh?!
 
At the bottom of the fuel filter theres a plastic knurled knob with a bit sticking out (I can feel it but can't see it) - I assume this is how you drain off any water that might collect, or is it for something else? I've opened it and got a mittful of diesel and SVO but nothing else....
 
I had a dose of Bio Boost 1000 put in my vans tank the other day. definitely made a difference. It would pull a couple of hundred more revs in each gear and was generally more lively/powerful. The Bio place I use are planning on putting it into the mix as standard. Going to put the price up by 0.5p/L but should be worth it. Other people who've had a dose or two on a test basis are reporting improved economy as well as power so should pay for itself.


Shouldn't get anymore water in SVO or Bio than with normal ino iesel. Only WVO is likely to give water problems and then only if it isn't dried properly.
 
Terra does that stuff only work on Bio or would it have an impact on, say, a 50/50 SVO/diesel mix as well, and what about straight diesel for that matter? If its a cetane booster like Millers DP+ then I guess it ought to, but....
 
I'd have thought it would have an effect on all, but as its formulated for Bio perhaps its better with it or has other effects too. I'll ask when I fill up.
