Starting it without touching the gas makes a assive diff to the smoking, now on a 50/50 mix, seems fine on it, bit more smoke than normal but that seems to die off after a mile. Equivalent to 50 mpg, luv it !!!!

I bloody well can:D:D AND you saw me holding my back earlier!!!!:eek:

I tend to use it for very short runs, still only done 92 miles since putting the ol in, i'll take it for a longer run this afternoon. It is bad when its cold but eases off even after a mile or so. I'll red up on the injectors and clean them see if that helps, may take me a while as i've...

We went off the cooking oil very quickly so fred title don't mean much now lol:D:D

?? I don't have a TD5 Not tried it in the Td4, whats the thoughts on putting oil in it, with derv of course. My 200tdi is smoking like hell on 33% oil, :(

Whats the thoughts on using oil in the TD4? Might cetane help cut down on the smoke, the 200 has only done 108k, was smoking on start up before but only on start up

I was going off Shifty's set up, he adds 20ltr petrol to 180ltr oil. I'm running a 200tdi and a TD4 (not tried it in the freelander yet). Its smoking like hell on the currant mix, could that be the petrol, maybe its a little to thin?

Finally got my filtration system up and running, its on a gravity feed at the moment as i have no compressor, except for a cheap tyre pressure one. Filtered 70 ltrs in about 4 hrs. Mixed 10% unleaded in before filtering, then mixed it 10ltr oil to 20 ltrs of diesel. Done 90 miles and tickover...

Did that one earlier in the year, got to the end to find a TRO sign on it, not one at the start tho:confused:

I printed a few collection forms off and dropped em off at the garage (blank) the garage owner says he'll fill them in himself and save all his oil for me:D

Found it, it's called a Waste Transfer Notice the guys that run on veg use these forms, having read it i'm not sure how much use to us they are. Veg oil collectors are exempt from needing an environmental permit as they can claim its for personal use but can we make the same claim? I don't want...

Just collected my first batch of used engine oil, found the place by accident, there's a small yard with a tyre depot in it, i was calling there for tyres and it was shut, the mechanic from the next unit came out so i asked the question, "bloody loads of it mate, can't get rid of it" he can now...

Cheers Shifty you have a PM

This is why i love landyzone, so much help from peeps like yourself and shifty. on the hunt now for a cheapy compressor:D BUT, if i'm buying a compressor i might as well get one that will run tools as well (just in case i learn what to with em). There's diff hp and diff size tank, would a 2hp...

I admit to being as thick as pig **** when it comes to anything like this:D Thats why i'm asking what perhaps should be obvious:) So thats a compressor connected to the top:confused: Feel free to take the **** but could i fit a tyre valve?

Thanks. Should i be able to run the 3 filters in line? With a tap inbetween each to isolate them for cleaning. I'm one of the minority, i don't have a compressor, plenty on ebay cheap tho. Does it matter if the air line runs to the top or bottom of the drum?

Cheers Shifty Would a pump like this work? Rule IL200P Diesel Fuel Transfer Pump 200 GPH 12v £23 on ebay, and filtered through 3 of these CAV Diesel Fuel Filter / Glass Water Trap marine boat oops thats a bit big...... 3 of them at 100, 50 and 5 micron? Mix it with derv, rough...

How does this sound for a set up, for cost and ease of set up. Pump it out from the 100ltr tub at the garage, drawing from the middle of the tank to minimise the water/antifreeze that might be in it, into 20ltr containers. Mix with derv to thin it down, rough filter through that stuff you...

Good or bad i'll post up what happens, gotta sell the freelander first. Will be using it on the defender which is mainly off rd use, but yes i am aware of duty being payable:( As the fuel is free, what percent do i pay?:confused:

The garages i've spoke to tip everything into a 1000ltr tank and said help yaself, i was thinking of buying a centrifuge (£500) to make sure there was no water or antifreeze left in, it won't remove the petrol but it should save me thinning it down
