Tried adding in up to 20% petrol? or replaced your fuel filter rectently??
sounds like poor quality bio or blocked fuel filter as you shouldn't notice any power loss?

I wouldn't add 20% petrol to bio or veg that is far too much, never put more than 10% unleaded in any mix or you're risking some serious damage to your engine and that ratio is only necessary when the weather gets really cold.

That's why it does say "up to" you should never start with your max and work down - I would start with 5% working up!

Yeah but it says "up to 20%" which is way too much, never exceed 10%.
why I've never had a problem running 20% when on Bio or Black??
it's a guide and you should experiment and work out what works best for your own vehicle and only way to do this is to try!!

The days of free oil from the chippy are fast disapearing, many now charge for it (usually to the highest bidder).

as they have done locally for ages,
free - tax free even - money for the greasy bar stewards!
time verses end product verses buying in polluted chipfat verses buying lots of bulky equipement, then making bio & soap ffs!
verses going into town, or a costco type outlet, and paying a max of 99p per litre of pure new oil to burn, plus maybe a dash of unleadeds finest
(just dont question leaded gas)
then getting in, turning the key,
and saying bollox to all that home brewing crap...... :lalala:
I know when I`m better of, maybe its dont suit all of ya`s,
but sure suits this `ol retired bloke..
now, wheres me lawn mower petrol?
oh yeh, it`s in me scooter, fcuk it, get the syphon tube out again...
