Hydraulic oil is even better than engine oil. It is near the consistency of diesel and has less contaminants. I often use hydraulic oil from a friends plastic moulding machines. You can mix it 50/50 with diesel and it needs very little filtering if it is clean.another question - would clean hydraulic oil out of tractors do the same job as engine oil?

The word biocide was used previously. What is biocide please.
petrol will do that for yaThanks, i need to buy a landy first but the info is helpfull. Something else came up on the news t'other day in that a reported said that her deisel froze as it was minus 18 and deisel freezes at -15.
Just wondering if mixing it with the used oil would prevent this or if not would there be problems of seperation etc within the tank.. just a thought.
Just bin reading this thread mmmmm quite interesting!
Though im a bit confused with all the 'brews' and mixtures1
So do i mix 50/50 used oil/diesel or 50/50 used oil/petrol?
Just read shiftys post and it say he mixes used oil, petrol and deisel!

What is biocide please.
A chemical substance intended to stop BioDiesel from acting as a breeding medium for bacteria.
50/50 during the winter but I have been using 75/25 in the summer months.What shifty was saying was he thins down 180 litres of used engine oil with 20 litres of petrol. Then he mixes that 50/50 with Diesel.
I have no experience of this engine but I'm sure others can fill you in.Shifty, will the old 2.5TD run on a mix of Diesel and used engine oil? I've heard the 2.5TD's don't like the veggie oil/WVO.
Not yet but will be either today or tomorrow.Have you had time to take any pics/find links for me yet Shifty?
