Mad, saying " I think it was sunflower oil" lol, lol, lol, lol isn't really an answer.

Can I just clear this up, to state you don't know what you are talking about and just having a laugh.

I run BIO, have done for a while, you stated you ran straight oil in a DI, I wanted to know how (you didn't have a 2 tank) and you have offered me nothing more than the negative and naive rantings of Mr M-PUK.

Hang on I think I need to relate to you, here goes :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Will that do it? Hang on I missed one for the PUK meister, :lol:

Cheers, Mark

Happily surfs round sharks, you know where you are, and they don't laugh at you, because they know your ability, but heh they kill you for that. sh*t happens.

i need a drink, but il feel safer if i research it first. :P

Thats funny really funny, pmsl, just started homebrew and guess what I did resaerch for some tips.

Now then surfersexperiment you really have a bee in your bonnet over this. MrMPuk is really only telling you that in his opinion, and I do rate this highly, I have seen alot of his answers and he knows his stuff, that veg oil and bio can do some damage.

Now, yes I use my bio and am ready for any consequences and I feel that it is mainly people who are greedy trying too high a ratio veg oil and people using poor quality bio that causes most problems. Dont forget the milage and misuse of engines before any of this, so everyones experience is different. There is no yardstick to measure against it IS a suck it and see trial everytime.

Well I guess you can PMSL all you like.

Yes I am just about to start home brew, so what, kick me, didn't you just once start home brew who kicked you?

I have run my DI now for nearly 2,500 miles on BIO, started a 50/50, now 80/20, damn chris you know this anyway.

What gets me is you kick someone who KNOWS THAT BIO is not for all engines, but is for most, having done this yourself. All I have done is researched if my engine would, got a yes a posted on here (I am on BIO forum as well) for others to know, learn, try. And I am running BIO.

Your as bad as MR PUK you claim to be the oracle and font of all knowledge, you quoted him as 'knowing his stuff'. About what exactly, the Transit or BIO? He knows nothing of BIO, he's negative about it, he may know about vans though, maybe.

I am ok with building my own processor thanks Chris, I have got this far.

Cheers, and keep being a bunch of negative nepatist (JUST RESISTING A SWEAR WORD CAUS THERE MAY BE KIDS ON HERE).

Glad I logged back in . The homebrew I am refering to is wine, lager and bitter as in the quoted post. See what I mean about being obsessed?

Look I am using bio. I do believe the government is giving us motorists a good kicking and I think they want people of the roads , the highways cant take the strain. For an example they have moved a speed camara from close to a school and placed it on a downward slope surely just to catch us out.

I do want you to have great success using your own fuel. But that is BUT I guess between MR PUK , Luke Guy Smoothound and poppajoe they must have more than a century of working on engines, and MR MPUK is only trying to stop you suffering needlessly. Once again I DO want you to succeed and get off that high horse, youll only fall.

i think you find cooking oil does make the diesel van run like a bag of spanners and sounds like you have diesel knock for agers we not going to use it again + cooking oil is about the same price as diesel so whats the point realy :roll:

and if you do use vegoil in a car thats new its not under warranty same goes for vans :wink:

Brilliant, what a load of bickering this thread has turned into - with very little useful information in it.

I'm going to be pouring used vegetable oil (courtesy of our local Chickenland) into my transits fuel tank at the weekend, I've done my research, I've made all the mods and looking forward to some free motoring!
1990 2.5L Transit still running on 120p/litre diesel, soon to be running on vege oil....

Not available to everyone I know, but aircraft fuel does a pretty good job of saving money! I know someone who has run his diesel car on it for 2 years!!! Absolutely free as it's waste once it's drained from aircraft. :wink:
