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.


That's the Ford/Jaguar/LandRover/Peugeot/Citroen common rail V6 diesel
engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AJD-V6/PSA_DT17 - I wouldn't be
putting Vegetable oil anywhere near it unless I wasn't too bothered if it
kept working!
