<< < (3/3)

As i said,6 years no problems,same engine. Used to pay 27p a litre but like everything else it goes up! Save around £8 every fill up,on series tank. I think it speaks for its self!

WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been nearly a year since I started this thread and I've no idea if any of you are still watching this (or could even care less :lol:) but I can finaly state that the veg is in and working a dream :dance: Infact I was amazed that it all worked fine the very first time I switched it over :shock: Just a couple of small air leaks, one from the diesel filter and one from the WVO filter but they are both now sorted. Although even when all the new fuel lines were completely empty (inc diesel) at the first start up the good old lump still seemed to chug away quite happily seemingly on thin air (hmmmmm now maybe thats a conversion for the future :-k :lol:)
I've read a lot of posts about people not being able to stop smiling when they eventually take the plunge and get it running. I always assumed this was more metaphorical but it seems not. BIG CHEESEY GRIN every time I flick that switch  :grin:. I'm sure it will wear off eventually :roll:
Luckily I've got a mate that is supplying me with the WVO free of charge and already have getting on for 200 filtered litres stockpiled up as well as the 50 in the aux tank but I have just started to thin it with a little diesel now that the cold weather is forecast for next week.
So thanks to those that have helped with advise and examples of their work and hopefully I can do the same for others now.

I'm still watching!! I've got a twin tank system to fit soon to my 300 Disco, just need to sort a second tank as the one I have (bought from a guy that was going to put it in a Transit) is too big.
