Veg oil - Quicky

[n0rm]

Hi

I know this has been much discussed and I am in favour of it, just wondering the logistics of your purchases.

Some of you state you run on 50% upwards of oil and the average tank is 60litres meaning that you use about 30 litres of oil each time you fill up. Don't people in the shop look at you wierdly when you buy this quantity of oil every week, cos mostly it seems to be in 1 litre or 3 litre bottles meaning you would be buying a large number of them.

Just wondering is all

Lidl 4 me too, usually pick up 2 to 3 boxes at a time. Have 2 of them within a mile or so of where I live, so anytime the carparks look empty I just nip in and grap a few boxes.

Guess I never really thought too much about what they might think I was up to, as I split my purchases between the 2 near me (and another a few mile away when passing) I probably don't appear as suspect as I might otherwise.

Most of the staff in all the lidl's here until very recently were newly imigrated workers with poor english, so unlikely to question my level of purchases

Ive invested in a two tank hot oil system for my truck. Do you run yours on just a cold mix and if so have you encountered any problems. Ive spent weeks intalling this system and I'm still scared of running it for the first time.
Give me faith !

No twin tanks or heating here, so yup, a cold mix of up to 70% veggie is working fine for me, reducing down now to 50% or less as weather is turning colder.
