I am assuming the chip shop stuff is secondhand but the other is new, do you need to filter the old stuff?
Do you run on veg oil too YD?

NE1 tried veggie & kerosene for long term running off road?
Obviously it would be off road as otherwise there might be some duty to pay on the 30p/litre for kerosene and 50p/litre veg oil, so at 40p/litre off road, would there be any detrimental effects to the engine &/or fuel system? Anyone know?

Its a lottery some motors have no problems some a few some are problems , it can rake all the ****e from ya tank, and block your filters , some pumps dont like it[lucas] others do, some types of seals rubbers ect swell or rot, think youve got to think can i risk it or can i fix it myself. . .8{|> said:

problem with kero is there is no oil content in it and the veggie doesnt have enough to conmpensate.

Yes its always best to get the info of the motor your using, then ask yourself do these guys really know or spinning a line ,most of the more experienced people like on the landy zone tell it as it is, like it or lump it, but you will find there is a lot of people using this type of fuel with good results but unwilling to give info , well for reasons that we all know, having said that they are helping there pockets but more important helping the planet, so fair play to them i admire the determination. . .

If you want to run it on kero, then put in 5% engine oil, that will give it an oil content similar to diesel.
