VEG OIL and the MOT

[R1cho]

so whats the heater for and is it necessary?

So if i went to my local super market, bought a 20 ltr drum of veg oil would i need to do anything else?

the heater is mainly if you just run on straight veg oil and nothing else, as veg oil is thicker than diesel unless you warm it up, if you mix it with diesel you should have no probs, best person to talk to about it is zippy

if i remember corectly, there were some worries on using veg oil if you have a Zexel pump, if you have a bosch it's ok.

but there are loads of thread on this if you do a search. :thumb2

Probably best to do a search on here as it's been discussed in great detail:thumbs
Once you've had a read, all should be clear.............ish

dont use veg oil on without a heater or mixing with diesel in the winter or you will end up standing over your engine bay with your wife and daughters hairdryer on the injectors fuel line and fuel pump (not that i've done this of course :augie)

cheers, i have only added 6 litres on top of 1/4 of a tank of diesel, and wont do any more unitl i've tried that mix out. I wouldn't go more than half until the weather pics up a bit.

Well why dont you stick bio in it then? That'll run at -15 easily with NO mods:thumbs Simples

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

i'd rather do SVO, i'm not a convinced by bio, too many ??? hanging over the prodiction process for me :nenau

Well we've gone through 5000 litres between us (last year officer) running neat.The last lot was 82p a litre:thumbs Landy has no probs on it, my mav (zexcel) has no probs, and my daughter's Toyota Lucida also runs nice n cheap now too
Another friend of ours has just bought a 1000 litres too for her transit and audi a3
50p a litre cheaper than rip off Britain pumps, I thank you:naughty

Bloody hell, it's not local to me either but 50p a litre is a lot of saving buddy
You could get it sent via pallet courier for about 40 quid if you open an account:naughty
