I wouldn't want to try it with a common rail diesel, or in winter.




I want one of these, run it on red which I can get very cheap...
Stupidly long tank range and built strong enough that grunts can't break them. Be a decent commuter.

I'd kill for one of them! I've been toying with the idea of starting one as a project with a small turbo diesel. 120mpg - yes please!

I agree with g2d, you are allowed 2500 litres of bio fuel free of tax. Although i have a 12 year old Mondeo TD, i'm very tempt to run it on bio diesel. But the problem is that the injector pump (Lucas) is not suitable for running on veggie oil, unless you process it first. Or get the oil heated up before it enters the injection pump. You will and I so believe have trouble starting the car again with cold veggie oil left in the pump.

the guy with the berlingo just puts a 1/3rd cooking oil in every fill, 60p per litre.

60p a litre!? where from?

its 99p at ASDA!

oh? see how often i go shopping
