Waste vegetable oil

My beautiful p38 bought 2 months ago done 3400 miles on waste vegetable oil filtered to 0.5 micron no problems up to now except at 115 mph wont push more??

Take the ladders off the roof rack?

Try leaving the missus behind.

Your very lucky to get one to that speed
Have you checked the filters as the veg will disturb any rubbish in the tank

It may be Mars bar related.

Moon side effects. Wait till a new moon before attempting higher speeds.

I think there is a new higher octane chip oil out?











Crisp 'n' fly

Boils down to more wedge though innit.

115mph?? Your asking for it in a 2.25t tank... 80mpg is my limit if and very rarely

I agree, lets hope the plod is on the ball; the penalty for exceeding the national limit by that much is punitive.
Up to 100mph (actual speed, which may be different to that shown on the OP's clock) can generate 6 penalty points, possible disqualification & a fine of between 75 & 125% of your weekly income, plus costs of course

When you reach such a good MPG do you stop pushing it and drive again.

Think the advertised speed is less than that so he’s doing well for chip oil.

Whilst I have no doubt we are feeding a troll here, as a previous owner of M51 engined vehicles I thought 115 sounded optimistic in a P38 so I hit google and it appears the claimed top speed for the diesel is 103

Not with a manual box it isn't.

A second click reveals another figure of 106 for the manual and 101 for the auto.
Either way, OP either has a very optimistic speedo or he's looking at kms.
TBH you'd probably need a wheelbarrow for your gonads if you felt comfortable going over 115 in a P38

I think the original post was tongue in cheek and referring to how well it was running but that aside I am pretty sure I was up at 110 mph one night when I had the motorway / autobahn to myself and was getting bored. That was foot to the floor though. They're really quite capable when running properly.
