Half price Diesel
waveydavey:
I did know a guy who used to run a 200tdi Disco all the time on a 50/50 mix. It is a bit smelly following it though, customs would notice easily.
Being in shipping we sent a Sample to FOBAS (They analise our fuel) Don't use old cooking oil at all, it came back as very acidic and would damage the engines.
fesuvious:
Yep, Im running ( purely as an experiment ) @ 20% new veg oil and no problems what so ever.
A friend of mine is going to try it in his company vehicles.
The TDI actually seems smoother. Could be a trick of the mind, but it seems smoother.
philbert:
:lol: Not a trick of the mind veg oil is a far superior lubricant compared to the sulphur they add to diesel.
So it should be smoother and quieter with less diesel knock

I was round there lockup about 4pm yesterday and chatted to them for about 45 mins (betweeen phone calls). Their main business is the sale of the conversion kit so theya re bound to try and sell it to you to avoid the "dire consiquences".
I am trying a 25L to 15L mix at the moment which is about 60% I guess. Not doen many miles yet but the engine does sound happier :shock:

I'd keep your receipts with you in the motor Bob. After all by buying from them with the duty already paid you're not doing anything wrong.
I think a lot of people would be using it legally if it was easier to pay the duty. Me, I'm paranoid and wouldn't want to lose my vehicle.
