Preparation of veg-burning machine

Another basic question from a Diesel - phobe: Why not use waste mineral oil, ie old sump oil, instead of the veg?

the ALH in the vw tdis can be run on oil in differing concentrations.

In the UK you should pay tax on mineral oil-based fuels, plant based fuels are tax-free up to 2500l per year. Old engine oil is also horrible to deal with.

DO NOT MIX THEM

[Lacquer Peel]

Yep, don't mix it unless you want to make a gruesome black jelly.

 

 

Yes, propperly centrifuged and de-watered oil could probably command a bit more, but for the sakes of keeping stock rotating I am more than happy to sell at 50p, making a little profit for myself and and still charging a fair going rate without being extortionate. Certainly couldn't live off the little pocket money I make from it.

 

On that note, I still owe you 80L Laquer Peel!

 

It'd be a good excuse to see your setup!
