Hi, all.


We had a big family gathering at the weekend, which involved several
fondues.


Consequently, I now have several litres of used groundnut oil for

disposal.


I was considering pouring it into the LR Discovery's diesel tank, at

a
ratio of say 2 litres waste oil to 80 litres of real diesel.


Or if I was shy of that, then into the 500 Litre tank of our big
generator at work.


Comments?

OK on TDi200& *TDi300, not too happy with TD5 as it's semi common
rail. However at that dilution it'd probably be ok anyway.

OK, I don't know about the designations. * It's a 2006 Disco3 V6 2.7ish
Turbo-Diesel.

I don't know the details of how the injection system works.

I may play safe and dump it in the Agrekko genny 500l tank anyways, it
sucks fuel at a furious rate.


Do it at the start of a long run. And give the machine a chance to
clean itself with a drop of the good stuff afterwards. How did you
filter it?
