Thinking of using Veg-oil ?

[Tjillard]

I changed my fuel filter for the first time last weekend. really really easy!!

Just un hook the electric sensor from the loom, un screw the filter. put the sensor on the new filter, with the new seals. refit new filter to car, hook up lead. pump the fuel in using the pump on top till it goes hard. and then start the car.

if your pump doesn't work then fill the filter with diesel before fitting it and it should be fine.

hope this helps.

Does anyone have any links on how to change your fuel filter thingy? I need to get some for when I try VO.

fellah is just trying to sort out a suitable fuel does he have to skim of the crud on top dont think he had tap on container

Usually crud collects top and bottom, again depends on where oil came from, but get rid of as much as you can, even then 2 days later it will be seperated again

I used to use a drill pump and a hose pipe, dark oil is what you want, lighter stuff is fatty, sorry if you already knew that.

just buy mine from tescos so dont know about filtering etc or what part to use ,i usepump on drill cheers for info

Wsa there a tap on the container? If not, probably has a pump/siphon for the job.

All sounds like a load of faff to me.

As I read it, you have to keep a record of your usage, not receipts.
Receipts will only prove you DID buy the oil, not that you DIDN'T, which is more the case at issue here.
I keep a record of all the fuel I put in my truck, and note when it is veg and when Derv.

Plus, the mileage is recorded on the MOT, so that should be a valid usage chart. If you do less than X amount of miles per year, you obviously can only use so much.

Either. Production and use of biodiesel or use of VO.
