    Vegatable Oil in the land

    I think it sounds like it runs slightly rougher on the 50/50 mix and I had to increase the idle speed as it was running alot slower, but on the other side when I was driving it through town tonight, it didnt seem to giving any smoke when i stuck the pedal to the metal,:fencing:

    Well another first for me, I was in the supermarket tonight, and I saw the vegatable oil was £2.70 for 3 ltrs, 90p per Ltr compared to £1.44 for DERV so i did it 24Ltrs of Veg oil in the tank topped up with DERV, so I will see how it runs over the next couple of days and get back to you. :clap2:
