veg oil kit - is it worth it?

[FlySurfer - Edy.]

check out smartveg valves £34.99 2 end up over £80 with p+p, i`d order from frybrid in the us but i`m not sure how much it would cost all in,i.e. if you get hit for tax etc.

See if I can get him to mark it as a gift

i may be going mad, but i think i saw in costco, corn oil for 10p a litre...is this useable?

[ssray]

looks like your the nominated test vehicle chillit it should work it`s only veg oil in the end, Dr Diesel showed the engine 1st on peanut oil.

10p a litre!! buy loads, coz its as good a fuel as any other veg oil.

Chillit ma boy - I must come to your Costco - that's a brilliant price. - get me £50 worth please cos they won't let me shop with them .

[Chillitt]

i'm up for a trial, but 2 problems..
1. the costco is in derby, i was on bro in laws card(we parked next to a delorean!)
2. i blew a hose on the way home.

[Draig]

i'm up for a trial,

mmm - shed-napping again was it!!!

seriously that's bad news about your hose.

I'm not really intersted in Costco cos you have to pay to join. Mind you if it was that cheap i'd pay to join - if I could pass their entrance test lol

I use Makro mainly as I have a trade card for them already.

Lidl is another good source (£0.43).

[Chillitt]

i do have a new shed actually...
i must get my lapsed makro card renewed....

[Chillitt]

still have to pay, just a higher threshold and if they open it up it hardly looks like a gift!... better off marking the declared value down. (needs to be below £18 inc postage)

Cheers Slug, just about full to the brim with knowledge now having spent 16 hours reading over the past few days...

now the only Q left is - how much of a pain is it to refill and is it worth the extra time. Once I have answered these - I'll do it.

Considering a gravity fed 1000l tank on shed roof....or hand pump.

Anyone have any novel time saving ways of filling the Surf with the veg oil ?

Cheers.

thing is, you gotta get the oil into the larger container and then into the motor... also risking contamination from rain / general dirt...

i'd just buy it in 20l drums and keep then sealed till you wanna use them, then just use a funnel to fill up.
they're also easier to transport if you're gonna need to fill up when you're out.

You can get a Barrel pump

There are electric versions as well. you just drop the pipe into the container and go - saves picking up drums.

Not used them for veggie oil but they are used for deisel on construction sites etc so should work fine

Have a look at Jabsco pumps - they do this sort of pump suitable for pumping anything you want to, and quite a few things you wouldn't want to as well!
