320touring Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 This is now going the way of the first McCartney wife.. Started her off on a diet of 5L of veg to 40 or so of crushed dinosaur- what with her having the Lucas Prince of Darkness pump, I'm taking it easy! Learning from my experiences with the AAZ engined golf, I put £20 in prior to putting the Veg in. then topped off the tank afterwards. Off out to see the parents the now- if you hear swearing you'll know its gone well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortinaDave Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The whole concept of long distance chod retrieval seems pretty hardcore to me. Hats off to their dedication I reckon!its a risk buying blind with long distance trips involved, but to be honest im happy to travel when buying from a fellow shiter - the descriptions tend to be 100percent on here in my experience Cavcraft, urpert and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now heading towards the 2nd tank with VEG-aiming for 20%(likely made up of 9l veg with 1l petrol for dilution). The warmer weather should all that to be ran no issue.
