yes works fine, a bit terse though!

anyway, last night i put a litre of sunflower oil in our fridge the display is set at 3 degrees celcius, this morning it is still lovely and runny! however i find ordinary 'veg oil' (as opposed to sunflower) sets like lard at this temperature!

Bio deisil bought from these companies is a bit cheaper that dino fuel but you're still lining the chancellors pocket as these are taxed. You need to be a producer to be exempt, just taking the top of a bottle of veg oil and pouring it into your tank is producing apparently.
 
one off the companys suplying the kit is using 10micron filter kits gonna weigh in at over 1100 quid + your used oil so gonna take while to pay for itself better off goin to tesco unless your gonna use gallons an galons
 
a new angle on this veg oil stuff!

many companies out there are now offering veg oil conversions all suggesting it needs pre heating etc.

so how come they are offering kits if you can just put it straight in your tank?
 
the peheat kit is for warming the fuel in filter usally as veg oil that bit thicker than derv 50/50 mix is to keep it thin as per your fridge exsperiment! + most people wont believe you can run it straight and will pay out good money for few wires etc! ebay fever lol just been over on navara.net to ask on there if any of the newer common rail engines are running veg oil as know few brand new pathfinders/navaras on here!
you tried it in transit yet there suposed to luv it running smoother the lot yours will have the better bosch pump aswell lucas pumps dont like it for some reason!
 
I think companies sell kits because people will "pay" to save money.

I was told last night of someone who just paid between £700 & £800 for a filter and he only uses his car to work and back.

Veg oil is probably just the lastest gimmick (althopugh I'm using it) and the price will increase untill its level with diesel then we'll be back to square one.
 
thats it you need to make sure your happy to use it safely then get on bandwagon asap or prices will go through roof once chancellor sees his diesel revenue shrink hes gonna look round as to why and how to get it back an some bright spark will point to sales off veg oil as fuel an thatll be that!
 
Im a bit apprehensive to use the veg oil incase it messes anything up coz i couldnt afford the repairs!! Has anyone used it on a 2001 terrano yet??
It certainly looks like the way ahead!!!

Your not alone as I feel the same as i'm scared incase a break something else on my T2:roll:
Whilst shopping in asda to day we got some veggie oil( asda's own 54p per L) for the deep fat frier, so I read the lable & it said it was 100% rapseed oil :roll: Am I right in thinking that it would be ok to got into the tank :?
 
i am going to have a look at my transit pump and make sure it is a bosch i may give it a go myself! have you tired it in your transit yet Jace, or are you waiting for me to be the guinea pig :lol:

Though i can see it all going bossoms up!

they are either going to start selling red veg oil for non fuel use

or charge £1.20 a litre either way my chips wil never be the same again!

I hope your happy with yourselves :evil:
 
ive no need i dont pay pump prices pay less than half lol itll definatley be bosch as shes a smiley on transit forum this was being discussed months ago loadsa off them doing it u can tweak bosch pump verry easily to improve midrange
 
have you got a link for the transit forum so i can have a nosey? cheers
 
I've been into Aldi and Netto today and there prices have gone up too, same a all the major supermarkets 68p/L. Cheapest non trade type outlet I can find is Co-op 64p/L which is odd as Co-op are usually expensive.

Netto even had a sign that said only 6 per customer on 1L bottles. :lol: :lol: :lol:
