Have you noticed fuel prices going up

On an episode of Mythbusters, they put filtered, used cooking oil in a deisel truck without any modifications and it ran fine.

Yeah, but in the cold weather, there will be viscosity problems. As far as the heaters, an unknown, I think I'd be converting it to bio fuel to remove the parts that could be a problem when burnt to an ash ....

I used to put it in my 1990 Montego DLX estate, with a 2.0 Turbo Perkins Prima based on the old O series. BL made the engine bits, shipped them to Perkins and Perkys put them together in their factory

It ran perfectly. Not a single complaint. And used oil was dirt cheap. Even the new stuff straight off the supermarket shelf was cheap enough. Miss that car terribly. Mechanically it was sweet, but the bodywork sent it to the scrapyard in the sky. 180K it did on the road.

The engine made it onto a houseboat on the Bridgewater canal in Sale.

If I ever come into lots of dosh, I'll find one and buy it.

Not a houseboat, a Monty Diesel Estate!

Watched a You Tube video and tannic acid to stop rust dead in it's tracks, I'll see if I can find it.
