Wilky 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I'm toying with having a go at the cooking oil thing, but I'm a bit unsure of the ins and outs, so if there's anyone clued up who could throw a bit of light on the subject I'd appreciate it. As I've got access to a regular supply of clean used cooking I thought what I'd do is filter it and mix it 50/50 with diesel and just bang it in the motor. It's going in a MK4 (I think) 1.7 Astra Diesel, 51 reg. Is there any problems with that engine coping with it. Oh and I have every intention of getting the relevant paperwork from the village Post Office and declaring it for VAT purposes as I'd hate to upset any officials by my actions. As far as I can see it's just doing my bit for the environment as this oil has to be paid for to recycle and I'll do it for free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

witton 6 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I dont know if this is true but someone told me that in the summer you can use it pure but in the winter its best to mix it because the cold thickens it making it had to start the engine Good luck David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
