So will anti-freeze, etc drain of with the water?:confused: If this goes wrong she'll kill me !!!!!!!!!!!:(

Sounds like a uj is well knackered

Ok then, I now have a conical container with 2 taps, 1 a little higher than the other, i've got about 25ltrs of contaminated (god only knows whats in it), i've rough filtered it so its ready to go in the conical tank, i will leave it to settle for a month (already thinned). Then drain off...

Ok in reallity am i likely to kill my TD4 using this stuff if left to stand for a month, water and gunge draind off then filtered to five micron and then thinned with petrol to gain the same flow rate as diesel?:confused::confused:

Any help or further advice gratefully recieved;):):o:attention:

AND i've just found several bottles of redex type diesel additive, any point adding this in?

I would expect that in the general mix from a garage it would be mainly Engine oil Gear oil Water Auto trans oil Hydraulic oil Anti freeze Petrol In that order? The only major prob is the water and anti-freeze? Petrol in smaller quantities is fine, gear oil mixed with the rest is that...

Non at all, i'm runing a td4, Mr Shifty is the man to check with tho, 95% of what i've learned is through him:D Shifty knows everything!!!!

Is it difficult to filter because its thicker?

It sounds as if the water content isn't much of a problem if i let it settle for a month then drain it off along with any sludge/crap in with it, that then will leave me a possible mix of anything else that goes into an engine, including petrol but i wouldn't expect to much of that, hydraulic...

I'm finding it difficult to get uncontaminated oil, all the garages i.ve spoken to pour everything into a 1000ltr container which they pay to have emptied, they've all said help yourself if you want some but of course its got water, gear oil and hydraulic oils in. If i let it settle for long...

Try setting up a sub section or two, might or might not work only time would tell. Most on here meet up for off roading or greenlaning and these "do's" can only have a limited no of motors so local meets may work. You wouldn't really want 150 off rd landrovers let loose on a pretty...

No that would be under sub section 7 paragraph 6 headed Cake munchers meet :D

Trouble with transparent containers is when you fill em with old engine oil they is no longer (and never will again) transparent lol How about fitting a pipe with a tap on to the container screw on cap, fill it with the oily water, turn it upside down, let it settle then drain the water off...

Ain't the air intake on a 300 on the other side from a TD5 anyway?

Is that safe enough, i don't want/can't afford to bugger the engine:eek:

LOL i've got both, the 90 has the charisma and is def more robust if you're drive into walls etc but the disco has comfort, a radio i can hear and it don't drip as much oil:D:D

You'll be very surprised just where a standard disco can go:D You'll have great fun with it but always go with someone.....

As already said recovery points front and rear. I know they're the boring bits and you want the knobbly tyres and snorkel and 3" lift etc but they're no use if ya stuck and you can't be recovered, AND you will get stuck AND you will need recovering. Thats a promise
