Default Stop Buying Diesel

All you need is a contract with your local chippy and with a bottle of this, you will save £000's

Anybody using it?

Sounds great Jim, but is there any Indepedent info on if it affects your engine long term.

Any bets on how long it would take "grabbing Gordon" to put a tax on veggie oils?

I'm sure that the chippy will have to pay to dispose of the oil, so supply would not be a issue. Smelling like a savaloy would be a problem I imagine

The price of Diesel has gone through the roof, I am surprised more people are not going down this route, especially as it sits well with the green lobby.

I don't think my finely tuned 8.1L Vortec would run on anything except the finest refined petrol, its a thoroughbred you see, not like those smelly, lumpy diesels that will run on anything

Thats another good reason for buying a petrol lump and converting to LPG

Untill "Gordon" catches on that he's losing revenue

Wink Bio Diesel

I heard yesterday that it uses more CO2 to grow the Bio diesel than if you used ordinary diesel!!
Apparently, it is the type of fertilizer used!!!!
Also as we know, many farmers are growing the products to make this Bio at the expense of growing food and food prices are going uuuupppppp!!!!!
