And Piggy, the stuff in the 99p shop is the EXACT same stuff that you get from Costco-i.e. KTC oil.
But yeah, I asked the local chippy, says someone already pays him to take it away from him. If you can get it free you are either very lucky or "in the know".
Don't forget you have to pay VAT at Costco and Bookers if you are not a business member as well. Total rip off.
Pretty sure there's not vat on Veg Oil iirc

Anyone can get a Costco card more or less, just make up a business name and get some cards printed. Also, veg oil is VAT free, so if it says £16.79 that's what you pay. It's not a rip off at all, just got 40 litres of oil and a 24 pack of Emerge energy drink for £38.22, compare that to Asda

Have you roped him in to doing yours yet?

Bookers have bought out Makro fairly recently, I've heard they're going fully trade-only and will be very strict on rules - so no easy cards from them like with Costco.
I dunno what they'll do with their current customers, they'd be mad to make them all re-apply.

Its definitely soya, but my DT doesn't mind it as long as theres a couple of litres of diesel in with it! And Sam, if you let me know when you can, I work right next to it and finish at 6 so if you meet me there you can stock up on my card.

Well it's got down to 5 degrees here and it's started first turn of the key every time, it hunts for the first 5 minutes but it did that all summer...
When I first used it, it didn't want to rev past 3k but with a couple of litres of diesel it's no different to rapeseed
Cant beat a full tank for 48 quid

Soya oil is fine, I've been using it for years.
Everything will gel up eventually in the winter, just run a decent winter mix and you'll be fine.
oh and Liam, leave some of that Costco oil for the rest of us!!
The Leeds Costco is my watering hole as well.

Wouldn't be saying that on a public forum mate, it's illegal iirc...

Yep it's illegal, and the teeny tiny bits of metal in it that you didn't manage to filter out will f*ck the inside of your pump and injectors.

Went to Tesco on Friday, hoping to get a butt load of veg to mix with my petrol, only to find that they've sold out again Is my area the only one where it is hard to get hold of veg!?

Supermarkets always are hit and miss, especially when it's on offer.
They tend to get a load and sell it, and thats it until the next offer.
Cash & Carry for a reliable source, or bio, or make it yourself.

That's exactly why I get it from Costco, huge pallets full of it and if they don't have it out they get it for you. Had a row with a manager in Asda once because he tried to stop me buying 100 litres of C&D because apparently it wasn't fair to other customers...
