Veg Oil

[00111001]

Well, after the death of yet another vehicle (Honda H-RV) I've revived my Hilux Surf. Nice to have the real 4x4 back on the road again, and it has one huge added bonus - it runs on vegetable oil.

Has the Bosch injectors fitted so in summer time I can run it on 15% diesel and 85% SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil). When I have the room (a garden) I'll be collecting WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) so I can filter that down, remove the water and then I've got free fuel.

Now, you're only allowed to use so many gallons before you're supposed to start paying tax on it. I would have no problem paying tax, if they spent it wisely. But they waste it, so I try to avoid it at all costs.

Almost all diesel engines can be run on either SVO or WVO - youi just need to install the bosch fuel injectors.

The other thing I'm thinking of doing is installing a second tank where the spare wheel lives at the moment, that I can fill with cherry red. I'd need some sort of switcher system so I can choose to run it on either normal diesel or the red, but if the filling point is in the boot then no one will know. Very handy if I ever get "dipped" as the tank they can see will be full of the normal road use stuff.
