bio diesel

if its from consett I know where it is and its not proper biodiesel, it a cooking oil/kerosene /methanol mix

the oil comes from couple of large food manufacturers that do lots of deep fryin ;)
 
One of the lads used this in his car when we were fishing. He just poured cooking oil straight in instead of mixing it. He had a little trouble starting but was fine once it got going. No hiding this from the police though as it smelled like someone was having a barbecue lol. Made us all starving after a night\'s fishing.
 
I heard of a few lads who run their diesels on cooking oil mixed with diesel. They recon as long as you don\'t mix the oil more than 50 / 50 with the diesel you get no trouble.
Most of them run on about 70 % diesel and 30% oil, still saves a few quid. None of them have had any trouble and they\'ve been doing it a good while now.
As said before it smells a bit tho when your stood at the lights :D
 
by the way what ratio mix are we talking ? or does it vary on the age of the engine? etc.etc,

with the proper bio-diesel, I\'m running 100%

thats the problem with just chucking cooking oil in, it smells as the fat in it burns, bio has the fat removed
