No point making Bio, just use WVO on a 1.9TD.

Can legally use 2500 ltrs per year, if you get WVO at 45p ltr thats a 75p ltr saving which over the year is £1,875.
By switching to WVO, I get a free 2 week holiday in the sun. :cheesy:

Thats even cheaper than running a car on red diesel.

Theres two lambda sensors in the exhaust. They're both nackered, only the one adjusts the fuel though. So plan is to change that one first. Should be more like 30-35mpg.

My XUD was a bitch to start cold, and clouds of white smoke (unburned fuel, right?) when it finally did. Never thought of doing that though.

Is it a straightforward trade-off between starting and electrical problems? :wink:

There was a man outside work today taking a kettle to his 08-plate Audi A4 2.0 TDI.

So maybe this technique is catching on.

Or maybe the Germans are already one step ahead of us on this.

He'd even got a piece of carpet to put over the windscreen.
