unknownmanxman:
Hehe, Ive only seen one vehicle tested for red diesel in 7 years! They usually appear round the farmers market, but dont seem to do anything!
But, like you say, it is totally illegal.. I just depends how smart you are i spose.

10% veg and 90% diesel. Runs great, saved the recipts for paying duty, car smells like hot chip fat, cold starts great, runs great, I can tell no difference other than the smell.
Gonna up to 15% next fill up, then mebbe 20%.
Not economical at the mo, cause with duty Im gonna be paying the same sorta cost, but I know Im greener.
BUT, When I get a source for used veg oil, and filter and run that, Im gonna be onto a saving.
Vehicle has a Isuzu 1.7 Tdi motor(aka vauxhall astra/cavalier etc) with a Bosch diesel injection pump.
At 125 miles per week, Im gonna be a lot greener , and maybe a bit richer.

At first I used to go to morrisons and buy 3 3Liter bottles throw that in the tank and then go to the fuel station and bang £20 in. Run like a dream and saved me the earth. I now have a proper blend from the pump which is 100% Rapeseed Oil which is supposed to be the best on the market and yep it is if ya ask me....
Guardian.:
just aquick tip mate. never use used oil, you will never in a million years clean it enough so its useable unless you have the correct equiptment, that im sure you dont have!
buy new!
rollazuki:
I thought if it was filtered to 10 microns, and left to settle/dried, it was ok?
Im guessing some form of pumped/powered filter would be needed really, gravity would be a long shot I guess.
Anyone got a good supplier/cost for oil, or do I just wait for Morrisons to have a 3 for 2 offer :lol:
