    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    Once when I filled up at Sainsburys it was like filling up with beer and having the head constantly coming up the nozzle - to the point where I couldn't fill up because the pump kept cutting out. I guess they had forgotten anti-foaming agents.

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    Thanks Ratty keep it coming. All these things do worry me - the gunge because it could get past the rings which would be trouble (and if it is juddery and smokey when cold there is unburnt vegoil swilling around) - the additives because who knows what they could do. It is 100% my decision, so...

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    Actually - wait a minute: 1) the supermarkets case was unleaded petrol where excessive silicone was present which bggrd up the oxygen sensors on certain cars. So not relevant here. 2) 5,000 hours @ 30mph is 150,000 miles. I am already on 120,000 so not too big an issue even if it is true...

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    Good find! It doesn't give a source, but it is being pretty specific, so I will take that as evidence....bggr. Now all I have to do is get rid of the rest of the 400 litres or so of used chip oil that I have left.

    Veggie oil - am I an idiot?

    I am using an oil with anti-foaming agent. I have searched far and wide for evidence that this does harm, but I can't find any. Mine contains E900 Dimethyl Polysiloxane which seems to be a common anti-foamer in foodstuffs including chicken nuggets and Diet Pepsi. I think you are going to find...

    confooooooosed

    I had a different problem - didn't start at all when i changed my gearbox last year. However, the problem was an earth strap which attaches to the gearbox. If you haven't done it up, the strap rests on the gearbox and gives a bit of earth, but not enough. Have a look there first.

    What's needed to make left hand drive disco legal in UK?

    I think officially you are supposed to have mph on your speedo as well (or at least marks which indicate 30 40 50 60 and 70?). This seems to be the case with bikes, although my bike is ten years old, has a kph clock and has been through three MOTs with no problem.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Changed the fuel filter. Just done the first 400 hundred miles on WVO and was beginning to get some fuel starvation with all the crap that must be lifting in the tank. Having seen what came out of one of my jerry cans after filling it with clean WVO, I now understand why this happens...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Made a pumped filter for my waste vegetable oil and cold filtered about 40 litres. Running close to 100% now (just the bit of diesel that was left in the tank.) It was a bit sluggish starting this morning, but there was a mild frost so it was pretty cold. All I need now is some sort of float...
