Saving money on Fuel.......

[Wolfracer]

Why's that a problem? Jeez, I remember buying it in boxes of 24 1 litre bottles from Lidl and standing in the carpark filling up.

Mind you, it was 40p a litre then!

No car park dude, and the bags aren't very strong...

Cheap veggie oil

i WILL WHISPER THIS SO NO ONE HEARS ME,AND YOU READ IT WITH YOUR EYES SHUT.
Didnt the tax man want his share about two years ago,something along the lines of "even though vat had been paid on the used chip oil,no fuel duty had been paid" and they were after another way of taxing us,I may be wrong,Alan

[Apache]

No, its been tax free up to 2500 litres for at least 5 years now.

John,I know I am going to regret asking this,but do you really just pour it in the tank,or do you mix it in a specific ratio with normal diesel,and I still dont know who got an OBE.Alan

Moi?
Erm, yes, you just sort of stick it in the hole in the side of the truck and it sort of just goes. simples.
Only difference is using over 50% this time of year and it doesn't tick over nicely, untill it gets warm, and might take a little more to start it, not alot though.
I only ever fill 50% this time of year, and once the engine is warm, you would not know the difference.
It lubricates better, and gives off a nice smell, that once you know the smell, you can smell it a mile off.

Here`s a few quotes from h.m customs
"It is illegal to run your car on any fuel substitute without having first paid us the duty".
"You can use vegetable oil in your car and mix it with diesel (vegetable oil is generally used as a substitute for diesel) but you will have to make arrangements to pay the Excise Duty to HMRC"

You don't have to pay duty if you use 2500 litres or less per year.

[schrodingers-cat]

You don't have to pay duty if you use 2500 litres or less per year.

Bit slow on the uptake me,had a lie in till ten,then a bacon butty,but I am going to give it a try tomorrow,hope its as good as you lot say,or I will set the wife on you.Alan

adendum to above,my milkmans just told me he sticks all his old engine oil in the milkfloats tank,after slight filtration,surely you would need to filter out all or most of the crap before using it, comments welcomed .Alan
