Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well, due to the ever increasing prices of fuel, I decided to add a drop of veggy oil into my tank. Apparantly you can use 2500 litres a year, without declaring it. I put £7.50 of diesel in the tank, which is about 6 litres...which is a fecking disgrace And i added a litre of veggy oil. Which, yes, is a weak mix, but i wanted to see how my enginge coped with it. So far, its running fine. Havent noticed any lack of power...etc.... so perhaps i'll "up" the veggy oil intake soon.. 70% diesel 30% veggy oil.....works fine....so i'm told Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 That mix does work fine in my jeep but it's not worth doing now the price of veg oil has gone through the roof as well i dont know about there, but you can go around to the burger joints and ask for the fryvat oil. they throw it out. only problem there is you have to do some work to strain all the flak out of it. i wish WE had diesels... my husband is working on a way to run the car on water. so far so good. just need the $$$ to actually install the bitch.

shell 42 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 We keep thinking about running the 01 Navara on veggy oil / diesel mix, but just daredn't do it! There's a spot in town that does the bio oil, it's 98p a litre. But, we dont' know anyone first hand that uses it, only people that know people that know people - you get what I mean! If we knew someone first hand we'd maybe venture into it! Don't want to feck the engine up... best car we've ever had and most money we've every spent on one!!! We've just bought a little run around...using that to compensate for having a gas guzzler!!! Shell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
