Maybe you too have read the in depth report that says ~ in a nutshell ~ that farmers could process their own Oilseed Rape oil and sell it, from their own roadside tanks. And that it does (would) indeed make a perfectly good, enviromentally friendly fuel for motors.

 

Of course; No guesses as to what the govt. said to That one!

I was tempted to start using it, but everywhere I've read on the net about TD5 or TD4 engines on veg oil say don't do it, other engines will be ok I suppose better to check up first...

not supposed to use keroseen. if you google using it you'll find sites telling you how to refine it. you use methanol and an acid in the mixing it stops it congealing. when its refined right you can use it in any car and it gives better performance believe it or not.

i know a lad that ran a smiley transit on it for a bit couldnt stand smelling like the

chip van and supposed to be a b*****d to start in cold weather.

when mixed right it as a lower flash point than diesal so in theory should start easier. know a few people who have used it and had no problem with it

Chap I know gets the cook at the local school to save the used cooking oil for his Land Rover he tells her he's recycling it.

He gets sh*t loads cos they have to change it regularly cos of rules or something.

So ask at the local school.
