R. Docks 154 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 You can use a stronger mix in the summer months, but don't put too much in during the winter months as it gets too thick when it's cold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeakOil 352 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Click on the link to this forum http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/index.php Read the Newcomers and SVO / WVO parts of the forum extensively. It can and does work depending on your vehicle, when it was made, what fuel pump it is fitted with and if you need a conversion kit or not. Get it wrong and it can be a very expensive mistake!

cocpops 19 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 The chef at our local hotel ran his Audi car on the old cooking oil from the hotels friers. He had a system which involved sieving and mixing and did it right up until he left. This was free as the hotel didn`t have to pay to have the oil removed and were glad to be rid of it. Makes you think there could be free fuel to be had? Worth a bit investigation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
