Boi-diesel

I would like to thank you all for such a stirring reception. Ha, ha,ha! I shall reiterate if I can stop laughing for long enough.

Just buy a petrol V-8 and be done with it. Bio-diesel is an abomination and unnatural. There is mounting evidence that it killed the dinosaurs.

I'd love a V-8 but am on a tight budget i.e. nil. I was told my Beastie ran on chip fat when I bought Him, I just want to try it.

Anyway, the 300tdi scares the sh*t out of me some times, plenty grunt, piddles all over the 2.2tdi in the Espace I had before which, incidently, disintegrated after 80,000miles, this has only done 160,000!

i would suggest you look at

Vegetable Oil Diesel Forum

biodiesel is not veg oil. It is key raw material in biodiesel.

However your 300tdi will run quite merrily on veg oil straight is. There is of course a variety of opinions on this varying from dont do it yourll knacker your engine to its fine etc. Im in the latter portion of this argument. I produced bio but then couldnt be bothered with the hassle and went to straight veg and never looked back.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a look.

Just Had a look. My intention was to mix it 50/50ish with petrolium diesel and incidently I've done my research. I use " chip fat" and "veggie oil" flippantly.

In the summer I run 100% vegetable (well olive oil my current batch is!) with 10% petrol (not dino diesel... just petrol). I slip a bit of 2 stroke in there to lube the pump.

Reduced significantly in the winter months.

Twin tanking in the best option though and is actually available from many manufacturers as an option in other parts of europe.

An annendum to my last post(!) I mean 100% fossil fuel free, not that crap they sell at the pumps.

Fossil fuels aren't from fossils. Nor veg. They don't exist.

You know what I mean.

How can I? You utilize incorrect terminology and spell things wrong.

Boi oh boi.

Fossil fuels is just the popular term used. Crude oil is from hundreds of millions of years of highly comporessed rotting vedgitation. Compost under pressure.

This type of abuse has a diminishing effect upon this venerable forum. It makes me sad.
