    Their habit of selecting the occasional passenger car to execute mock attacks on was endearing too.

    Exactly :diablo: I run two tractors on used chipshop oil , I run it through 3 sets of filters in a gravityfed rig . The tractors have a small petrol tank (1 gallon ) so I fire them up using petrol and when they are warm switch over to oil – using it in diesel cars is a bit trickier , you need to preheat the fuel usually by winding the feed pipe round one of the cars water pipes that comes out of the radiator . Oh and a bloody good set of glow plugs.
    And it definately smells of chips when running .

    I BET YOU READY FOR YOUR TEA AFTER A LONG DAY BEHIND THAT SMELL. :p
    The man from the ministry doesnt need to know 😉 just because we use our initiative.

    [QUOTE=BuffPuff]

    Looking in to refining old cooking oil from the local takeaways.Only draw back i can see is the car smelling like chicken biryani.

    From what I gather, the main problem with the above solution is that you’ll still have to pay the current rate of fuel tax on top of the cheap cooking oil. I guess this would apply even if you could run your vehicle on cheap cola or water…..

    Surly to god you don’t think I’m going to tell the nice chap from the ministry do you, hell have to sniff me out first and on a Saturday night in any large town every were smells like biryani.

    The bay horse in cawood was a favourite with 72sqd air crew from CHURCH FENTON, in the fifties, the squadron mascot, an alligator FLYING OFFICER FREDERICK LIONEL BASS WORTHINGTON, practically lived in the pub ,its said he’d like to start off the evening with a warm milk and stout and finishing with a whiskey. The pub still has RAF cf memorabilia and pickled in a jar the late FLYING OFFICER FREDERICK.
