end of an era maybe

Post by jgra1 »

Well.. as some of you know, I have been lucky to have run 100% WVO for a few years, supplied by a reliable chap on the South Coast..

The use of oil has dictated my staying with (and improving) the great xantia, and even some of the journeys and holidays I have made..

I just got the dreaded email.. Like in Mad Max II, the supply has vanished :shock: :evil: it had to happen sometime, wish I had had some notice, but I have been out of the country sunning myself for 3 weeks... #-o

..
I dont have a costco card.. and I am not sure I could go back to SVO now...
I do have a 406 V6 that I was half way through LPG'ing, although that could be problematic from a legal standpoint..

I wont do anything rash.....

Oh dear, that's terrible John :(

Time for midnight raids on MaccyD's then for their WVO...

Worth getting a Costco card and doing what Xac and co. do... SVO will be fine...

Else, can you get unprocessed WVO and process it yourself perhaps or even set up a biodiesel plant?
