If you've got a TD (as opposed to a TDi) you've already got a heated filter. stick to 50/50 veg oil/diesel and you won't need to do anything.. I can recommend fitting really good glow plugs though.

thats news to me? why wouldn't the TDi have the same then?

For the OP, don't know about Renault but Pug diesel filters are definitely heated (all except the very early ones and prob very late ones as well).

I don't think mistrals have heated filters either, i agree with briggie i run my tdi on 100% deiesle with no worries except the price. SO i may end up dabling in veg oil yet.

The heated filter housing has wires sticking out at the top, I can't be more specific as i haven't looked at one in a long time.

you always have to make things easy don't you Plank....:doh :lol:lol:lol

But ditto on the need for this unless you want to use a high ratio in winter in which case its a good idea....you'll still get a lumpy start until warm juice starts flowing (ooh sorry, am I on the right site here???) but it saves fannying about with twin tanks, inline heaters drawing glowplug amps etc...
