Vegetable Oil as Fuel
#25
Poodle I have a costco card and theyer just under £1 a liter if your ever up this way we can go and fill the back of your car.

The costco stuff is in metal drums so theres a little bit of scrap value there too.




I wouldnt bother using waste stuff unless it was free cos once youve factored in the cost of filters, the ball ache of it all and the fact that it has alot more animal fat solids in (that will f*ck you over in winter and mean more regular filter changes its not worth it.

Taylon said on his last XUD he got some cheap WVO and over half of it wasnt even useable cos it was so full of shite, water and solid fat.



Also WVO has a slightly lower calorific value than fresh veg so you have to inject more fuel to get the same energy out so you put your foot down more and burn more fuel meaning lower fuel economy.

Also bear in mind that fresh veg has a lower calorific value by volume compared to dyno diesel so be prepared for your economy to drop a little due to that.
