Simoman 110 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Apollo, you want to buy a conversion kit for around £600, neat veg oil will clog up your filters and pipes if used as the main fuel source. In my eyes mixing the oil with diesel at 30% oil 70% diesel doesn't address the point and doesn't greatly reduce the costs. I'm getting a kit as soon as I get some coin together...........

Guest basil46 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I`m having my salary paid straight to the treasury. No point in trying to hang on to it anymore with this tax, tax, tax system. Why the f44k are we letting a scotsman run Britain anyway?? We should rename this country just, Britain, because there`s nothing Great about it anymore. basil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IT WORKS! they've been bullshitting us for decades. you can run your motors on....................WATER! FACT! CHECK IT OUT ON YOU TUBE. my mates building one in his garage. Hydrogen has a really poor energy density. Its not actually practical outside the imaginations of dreamers or devoted dabblers. Best feed for a fuel cell - LPG which is a high density hydrocarbon. Same as petrol, made from crude like petrol so no benefit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
