fuel oils

[silage]

picked up some rape seed oil over the weekend to try Barri on, noticed a few oils slightly cheaper, nut origin? has any body tried them at all, also i notice E900 anti foaming agent in the oils, what is that?

[silage]

Ok found out about foaming agent.

Best to stick with rape seed oil
With no e900 if poss

Are you putting this straight in the tank with no mods?

Does it run OK?

[Gasy]

Straight into tank with a diesel mix of 70/30 summer
30/70 winter
Veg oil freezes to like a jelly at low temps so less veg in winter
Will run fine on 100% in summer stinks tho

E900 seems to be in most i looked at?

[Gasy]

Yes they say it's a silicon or something that can block injectors
I stopped looking for it years ago and just chuck it in

[silage]

bottle of injector cleaner once in a while then

Do get a new fuel filter to KEEP in the bongo
As the veg oil will clean out tank and fuel lines for the first few months
And has been known to cause a blocked filter and leave you stranded miles from no where
Change filter after a few months and get another to keep in there ( Sod's law )

[silage]

Thanks Gasy, new fuel filter fitted last month so will change in a few

[Gasy]

Buy it now and keep it in bongo

What I do is this, lol (so many times over the last 13 years) wait until tank is quarter full, then either at farm foods or wherever else is cheap..tesco eight quid for 10 litres, farm foods £9.99 for 10 litres..bung it straight into tank..in summer I use as much as 30 to 40 litres a go..drive to fuel station, top up with diesel and Robert is your fathers brother.. as the saying goes.
