I read recently that a TD5 is designed to run on neat kerosene. But an old 19j 2.5TD will run too hot and become less than healthy.
If say, for example, and referring to a friend, who isn't me - that you blended new cheap veg oil from the cash and carry with some kerosene 50/50 from the heating oil tank, would that reduce the calorific value of the keosesne to a point that the 19J engine will be fine, need no alterations and start from cold?
Back to the TD5, again not mine, but a friends - with neat heating oil kerosese, or a mix of DERV and paraffin in the tank, would the VOSA people know that it was not diesel? Heating oil isn't dyed and smells pretty like diesel. My friend was just wondering. He has no internet. And for the avoidance of doubt, is not me.
At what point does it read as plain diesel?
As for the tax man, if you use a mix of diesel and kerosene, how does he know the exact amount you've used on your decleration? Say my friend (who is very bad) said he'd used 20 litres of kerosene and 40 of derv, when in fact he'd used 60 litres of kerosene and 10 of derv - how on Gods green earth would the nice government know?
A friend of a friend.
