Im NOT dooing a 100% WVO, there will always be diesel in there too! Ive no time to fart around adding heaters etc.. Just the basics so it will help reduce fuel costs.

10-20% dino should do the trick then :)

I'm looking at one of the fphe type ones that will run just before the filter and lag the filter when the temps next drop below 5' I think. Saves an absolute fortune this veg stuff :D

Morrison's had an offer of 4 litre tins of veg oil at £1.62 per tin which is very cheap, a smidge over 40p per litre for new oil.

If you're going to put a Xantia type thermostat/filter heated housing on, there is a simple mod that keeps it on all the time rather than the small stat closing off the coolant when it gets to operating temp. All you need is a 10 cent piece. It doesn't do any harm to leave it hot all the time when running on diesel either:

Nigel, Ive got an XM Proper sort of thermostat housing, that, well obviously, does NOT contain a thermostat as its on the back of the 2.1 engine...
