sunderland to devon

[saker]

in a few months ill be doing sunderland to devon and back and ill be doing it on veg oil,

i have been running on oil for ages now my old astra and fiesta, and now my hilux witch i have had for 2 month i run a 50/50 mix some times i run more oil than diesel and never had a problem,

Well the other day i put 3 quid diesel in, then went into asda and got 7 x 3 litre veg oils and put them in.

If you're running straight down get the engine warm then fill it with veggie oil. Keep it topped up with veggie till your there or there abouts. Stick a tenner or so worth of diesel in just to make sure it starts okay if it's cold. Then for the return journey do the same as on the run down.

I made a mistake at Christmas and ran mine on 95 % veg oil on a cold day as well the truck struggled to start but once I had done 5km it ran smooth as you like. Left over night it struggled to start in morning but once running was fine. During the summer I might just run it on veg as starting will be fine @ the moment I run on £15 diesel and the rest veg (75% ish veg) might be worth having a spare filter just in case you drag some cr@p into it.
