Drift:
They mix it in scandinavian countries in the winter to thin out the deisel should fine in a slightly older engine  :wink:

Going to try a mix of 70% svo & 30% ''free fuel'' & will see what happens

waveydavey:
If the free stuff is 70% diesel I would happily go 50/50. That gives you
50% SVO
15% Petrol
35% Diesel
In your tank; I have known people run the 200tdi on 50/50 SVO/Diesel and 15% petrol will probably improve that if anything.

rollazuki:
Any more than maybe 20% petrol and my Isuzu 1.7 wont run when warmed up. Runs OK cold, but not hot.
Im in the same position as you, I can get diesel petrol mix from work, free of charge, and to be honest, its best kept as parts wash.
IMHO

barmiebrumie:
ok update,  
                  have treid it 70% svo 30% derv/petrol mix & the disco runs fine  :D , as an experiment put 50% derv/petrol mix in a petrol punto & that ran ok  :shock:  so just added some more of the 'mix' to the punto so its 100% 'mix & it runs like a bag of spanners so will have to keep that to a lower ratio, looks like the 'free' fuel can come to some use  :wink:

47p for svo & 'mix' for free, thats 80ltr tank filled up for £30 :D



Thanks John
