Re: A learning experience on Veg oil

Weird I have never had a problem in 12 years with rapeseed or sunflower. Changed the fuel filter a couple of times but that's all.

Re: Where do you buy your Veggie oil?

Tesco is the cheapest at the moment , if you can find it, not all stores stock the 5 litre pots as I found out but farm foods always have the 10 litres for 9.99 offer on so if stuck they oblige, I have always used a 1 and 1/2 litre water bottle with the bum cut off, fits perfect into the filler neck...
