Good day all, im after supply of veg oil for the landy. ideally local to hull/york. ideally fresh un-used stuff, but ill have to learn to filter it at some point!
its propbably best in bulk cos if you buy it from asda its still like 95p a liter which doesnt work out to much of a saving when diesel is 1.00 a liter here!

Can't help with the veggie I'm afraid but I need a driveway tarmacking could you do it?
Thought they had proved on mudclub etc that it wasn't worth the effort with the veg oil.
Wait 'til you try and start it in the winter
Gas for the win by the way

i ran it in winter on a 50/50 veg oil mix. started first time. even in the minus 10 we had on the wolds. smoked like a pikey mind, for teh first 20 seconds.
its got the conversion swich over tanks, 1 tank of diesel to start on, then switch over to main tank of svo.
had a few cars on lpg and i quite like it, though there is no where round here that sells it
spose i could go round the scallys in selby and ring theyre skin out...

Heavy oil.The fuel type says it all really.
A fuel endorsed by this chap
Sometimes I pretend I have a diesel Jeep by taking a metal bucket filling it with spanners and shaking it about for 15 seconds whilst discharging a smoke bomb.
Then I drive really slowly until I come to a 1in 50 hill where I nearly stop and throw out 3 smoke bombs.Its a winner.
I'd be intrested in some vegetable petrol mind ya if you could get some
VND would your skin do as tarmac,if so I think me and thee are off to the Dragon's den amigo.
