37% seems very high... must invest in a meter myself, thought my firewood season was over for the year, but just picked up an order for 2 cube bags while out walking the dog this afternoon.

i just paid 67.9p per litre for red this morning.....red always used to be about half the price of white, not anymore!

 

Spoke to a mate of mine at the weekend who is in Ag, he said the word is red will be £1/liter and white£1.60/liter by the end of the year:scared::scared::scared:

 

Its really getting out of hand.

Chatting to a haulier last week and he also said that there is a general feeling that diesel will certainly top £1.50 by the end of the year. LPG is looking more and more appealing.

I have a mate that is constantly experementing with fuel.

He is running a P reg L200 on 100% veggi oil but is trying to find a way to make it smell less and cheaper still.

 

His latest plan (Having failed to convert heating oil coz I wouldn't let him pump mine out) is water assisted power. He has baught a hydrogen power cell on E-Bay that extracts the hydrogen from water and stuffs it into the engine somehow to lighten the quantity of chip fat he uses :-)

 

I saw it in his garage on test and it looks pretty dangerous if yoou ask me. Hope he is sucessfull tho.

 

The only negatyive he has found from using 100% chip fat (Summer only) is that the car stinks and it can be a beast to start when cold. In the winter he treats it to some real deisel but I dont know the mix he uses.

 

Just found a link. It probably couldnt power the big engines we use but it's interesting. http://www.run-a-car-on-water.com/
