  1. If you've a Bosch fuel pump on an old fashioned, ie not common rail diesel engine, it will run quite cheerfully on the cheapest vegetable oil.

  7. Shame its owned by Indians.
     
  8. I ran an old Peugeot 205 on cheap veg oil for a while. Off the road of course because any form of tax dodging is totally illegal (unless you are filthy rich already and then its just a sport like golf or shooting pheasant) :thinking:

    I remember quite vividly the constant fish-n-chip-shop smell that used to follow me around.:food:
     
  9. I tax on the first 2500litres per year

    Apparently our filling station in town has run out of diesel, but still has plenty of E5 and E10. Ah well, I'll be driving the camper then..... oh, wait, I've still got half a tankful of diesel in the volvo, life can carry on :rolleyes:
