<< < (5/19) > >>

Horness:
OK - now I am VERY interested in using this stuff in my 300 TDI Disco.

Looking around, there are not many places selling this stuff - can you recommend a good place that will deliver?

We now need some BIO Fuel stickers  :wink:

Miniman:
Well I cant help you as to where you can get it from mate down your way. All I can tell ya is to check the Internet and see where. Have you looked at the last link I put up ? http://www.biodieselfillingstations.co.uk/

People also ask Why use BioDiesel

Biodiesel has superior lubrication capabilities and increases engine life.

When burnt, biodiesel emits the same amount of CO2 as the plants absorb in growth. (Closed CO2 cycle).

Biodiesel is produced from renewable materials.

Biodiesel contains practically no sulfur. (0.001%)

Biodiesel considerably decreases soot emissions. (Up to 50%)

Biodiesel contains no benzole or other carcinogenic polyaromatic components.

Biodiesel easily decomposes biologically and in the case of an accident no harm is done to the soil or ground water.

Biodiesel is considered non-hazardous (flashpoint above 110°C).

Biodiesel is an ecologically beneficial alternative to conventional diesel fuel.

I wish I could find a decent bio-diesel outlet down 'ere.  there are a few places who sell 5% but thats about it.

I've gone down the veg oil route, am currently running on 10% veg oil and will be working my way upto 50% over the next few months.

All registered with the Revenue boys now too.  It would be considerably less of a pain in the ass to get biodiesel from someone else with tax already paid.

All looks very interesting, BUT!!!

I am of the understanding that TAX is paid as a percentage of the cost of an item. IE, if I earn 3 grand a month I pay lots of tax, if I earn 500 quid a month I pay very little.
Or for example, I pay VAT on an item, I obviously pay more for an expensive item by comparison to a cheap item.

If I get free oil from the local chippy(free/gratis/no cost) Then how can I be expected to pay a tax? If its calculated as a percentage, then any percent of   '0'   is nowt!

How can this tax on recycled veg oil be legal?

Rollazuki :?:

Miniman:
Alot of the places which supply it in bulk dont use recycled veg oil but rapeseed oil. Mine does so its very pure. 88p a liter I pay for mine and its well worth it. My MPG has shot up big time and the TAX is paid for me so if I was VAT registered then it be even better. Not sure what the VAT is on it but I think if you make it yourself you have to pay them 27p per liter so if my fuel place is paying 27p VAT that would mean 61p a liter which is alot cheeper than 98p for normal Diesel. I am not entirely sure what you are trying to say but thats just me being thick......he he
