WVO complaints
Chaps, do any of you running WVO actually get complaints...
My colleague here has said she can tell when I arrive and leave the carpark I asked her if it was a problem and she said I stink (this morning she emailed asking why I hadn't come in, but I had driven in using some horrible VW bora petrol thing)
I asked her if I should throw my 200L brought last weekend and she said 'no'... (I would never have thrown it of course)
she also made the point she is a Vegetarian, for what ever that means..
I personally love the smell, but I guess if I was on Derv, there would be a lot less smell/smoke...
I am not in anyway worried, just curious maybe you follow someone who stinks?

Yep i am known to my friends as "Captain Chip Fat" and none of them want to follow me, they all overtake...
The bonus is depending on where the WVO comes from you get a different smell, ie indian chips or chinese!

I get comments too.
Netta, my housemate, gets car sick, and the smell doesn't help.
I even have to get the car up to height before she gets in as the rising turns her stomach.
I think her nightmare car would be a 1.9TD Activa running on veg!

We used to run my work transit 2.5 turbo on wvo, i liked the smell but the other blokes said it stunk, trouble is they couldnt overtake and get away from the smell because they have got the newer, gutless trannies

Deal. If she's not good for much, I can always Ebay her...
WVO-fuelled cars are pretty rare here; far too uncommon (yet?) to really put a "nose" on the different odours. I do remember a Swiss builder here running his Landcruiser on a heater fuel blend. You could smell that.
I reckon a good splash of cod liver oil in your tank, might have the local cats a bit quizzical!
