after much thought ~I purchased a motorhome with a TDi engine rather than a common rail jtd
I admit that the main reason was that , living in the back of beyond , there is no one who would be capable of dealing with the common rail engine for 100 miles , the local fiat car agency went white at the thought of it , and they are 40 miles away in any case
anyway , one fringe benefit is that I could countenance using some reclaimed chip oil ...I was recently near chelmsford having my axle weights checked when fully laden , and on the same industrial estate came across someone selling the aforesaid diesel
so , in for a penny , in for -20p a litre so I put in enough to give me a 50% mixture , toe in the water so to speak
and , so far so good ....no noticeable difference in performance , starts perfectly as before
consumption ? no idea ....as I am currently grinding around central london in 1st and 2nd it would be a bit meaningless as I don't normally do this
anyone else been down this route ?
oh , and axle weights ? thread on tyre pressures to follow when I get round to sorting it out !
