well i dont want to get into politics too deeply or offend anyone, but protection from what? Aren't we supposed to be part of 'Europe' which as one nation has to be the most powerfull country on the planet? or am i missing simething about the benefits of being a 'new european' all we seem to get so far is the bad bits! and none of the good

It is imoral though everyone using vehicles on UK roads should pay UK duty, it is double standards of the worst kind!

in danger of going political mate :?: what chips :?:
 
Looked at price of 3ltrs in tesco yesterday and its £2.20. It will soon be same price as diesel -rotfl-

105.9p this is getting out of hand.

In next few days I'm going to have to drive about 800 miles, will need a bankloan to pay for it :evil:
 
I've found that 3ltrs in Co-op is still £1.89, everywhere else is about the £2.20 mark - strange as Co-op are usually a bit pricey on everything.
 
OK all the answers have got lost somewhere.

If I start sticking a few bottles of veg oil in then top up with diesel what are my risks?

I'm tempted to stick some in mine 8O Went to Tesco's this morning and the selves were empty :roll: looks like someone had the same idea.

I was going to stick 9ltrs in on top of 3/4 of a tank

Will call in again Tomorrow.

Did someone say rapeseed was the best? as tesco's veg oil is rapeseed I think?

:smile:

VEG OIL

HI FELLOW OILERS. :p
Just bought 30 lts of pure veg oil in 15 lt metal drums from tesco
£10.09 p = 67ppl
this is sunflower oil from wensbury the same stuff i keep seeing at side of laybys
what thr truckers around here keep filling there tanks with.
ive run truck on 30% rape seed ok .
re filled with dino diesel .tank almost empty so intend to put 15lts in then fill up at tesco with a 5p discount card and two 5 gallon cans in back.
so savings all round.

never seen 15ltr drums in tesco's. My local only does 3ltrs max size and its a big branch

You must like deep fried food in your area or tesco knows what you are all using it for, market forces and all that. :wink:

Still not put anying mine yet, as I'm still worried about damage :cry:

:smile:
 
I can't say that I've seen those sizes either,may do them in Cosco or Makro,I'm still waiting for the long term effects on the motors!!! but by then i fear the price of veg oil will probable be not that far of the price of a ltr of diesel! That's if the government have anything to do with it!! :?
 
I've not seen the 15ltr drum in our local tescos either, I'm told they're available from the tescos who have a big asian/chinese customer base and have a specialist section, perhaps ID can confirm.

With regard to price, if you can claim the VAT back on diesel its almost the same price as veg now - barely worth the bother unless you can get it in bulk.

Yes and it'll cost us £10 for fish&chips :twisted: due to the price of the oil

Time to get your local chippy to bring back good old beef dripping (lard)it always tasted better than veg oil :smile:

:smile:
 
Asda down this way did the 15 litre drums of corn oil for a while and kept selling out. So 'Asda logic' was to stop selling those an concentrate on the 3l bots :?

Lidl down here now 64p/l for single bots of rape - which is the cheapest.
