Morning campers,

I'm currently ensconced on the sofa consuming breakfast.

A fine repast of toast n posh jam plus a strong coffee ( the Tigger cup reflects my bouncy and jovial disposition 😂)

Once this has been consumed, phase 0 of the mission shall commence.

Have you seen the price of Veg oil lately?!! Diesel is much cheaper. However, whatever you do, do not fry your chips in diesel, no matter how cheap it is. It really does not taste nice!! 😉

I thought that when I last looked in the veg aisle at tesco. Back when I did it 80p/litre for new veg was the norm. Now it doesn't seem worth it over pump derv even if I had a car that would like it.

Home filter setups are the way to go now with waste oil, but that comes with a mild commitment 😂

I remember obtaining 15l of coconut oil from someones kitchen long out of date and chucked it in the xantia. Smelt beautiful once it was in the system! I'd reverse through my own clay sometimes to sniff it...

I believe you're all thinking way too liquid on the fuel, unless our intrepid hero has some sort of veg-powered generator trailer on the go

Jesus Christ, the Jaaaag looks small next to the Leaf!
