Veg oil - damn good price!!

[blackpoolsparks]

no need to register anymore but just keep all reciepts and a record of whats used for 6 years.You can use 2500 litres a year without notifying C&E

Wasn't there a letter that we had as a sticky, that was useful to have in the glove box to show PC Plod if he enquired?

Mine ran sweet as a nut with a 50-50 mix but was a &*%^^$ to start even in the summer, I'd thin it with white spirit/petrol beforehand just to be on the safe side, should save flattening your batteries. Clean oil in asda last week was as pricey as diesel, £3.57 for 3 lt so I don't think its worth it at that price, don't know what makro/costco are doing it at though but since they cottoned on to the fuel thing everywhere put the prices up.

That was when you had to register but now there is no need for it unless you use over the 2500L

Hello Gents,

Can I use veg oil in my 94 3.0 lt TD without modifying it? I just put a mix of veg oil and diesel and am sorted? It does no damage to the engine?

Sorry for my question if its amateur, I am a new happy owner

I use my truck for business and claim the oil cost in my a/c's so if you work for yourself?? but you need to check that the seals in your fuel pump etc will tolerate the oil if it is not a toyota....forums are a good way to find out

What kind of oil exactly can I buy guys, lets say from lidl?
Can I just pour 2-3 liters in every time I put 15 liters of diesel?

Tesco Veg oil and Sunflower oil are both on a 'Buy 3 for £3' at the moment.

any veg oil....the cheapest-and if you plan on putting 15 ltrs of diesel you can put the same amount of veg oil in the winter, in the summer you can use just veg..........you may find that doing 2 pre heats will help starting

Tony, you sure I can do that with no modification to the car at all??
Do I need to change fuel filter?
Thanks

Yes we're sure, read this thread. The topic has been discussed on numerous occasions before.
