    Sorry mate, glad you did your research. makes me laugh the amount of cowboys who think they can tip ordinary veggie into their transit tanks. I can run pure neat any oil in my six wheeler, has a cummins C9, the injection pump is bloody huge. Even in sub zero it fires straight up on neat veggie...
  6. Whats a pruning cut?

    NO!! it is not as simple as it looks. your engine will not survive on mixed veg oil, unless its an old pre direct injection unit. The problem lies with the relative viscosity of common vegetable oils, they being at least twice as thick as mineral diesel. When vegetable oil is injected into the combustion chamber, it does not atomise properly. during startup, with a cold engine, the veggie oil will stick to the cylinder walls, running down and past the rings. This will cause two problems - firstly, as the engine heats up, it will cook the oil in the ringlands, gumming them up totally. Secondly, the oil that runs past the rings will mix with your sump oil, creating an unusual jelly like polymer. this will essentially jelly up in your sump, and one day, without warning, your engine will seize. Mixing neat oil with diesel NEVER works on Di engines. its only a matter of time (20 - 30k) before it destroys the engine. All is not lost however - preheated oil introduced into a hot engine will atomise and burn perfectly. To achieve this you will need to have a small secondary tank with dino diesel to start and warm the vehicle on, and to shut down and purge the system.

    chipper

    As a first machine, a good used kohler or honda powered timberwolf is hard to beat - not the best chipper, but you'll get one from a dealer without the big spend of a diesel powered machine, and it will serve you well as a starter machine.

  11. Not a Rush Fan butch?

  19. Glad you got sorted. Hectic busy at the moment. My cousin Jason will build you a body from a drawing on a fag packet.
  20. Nice seeing the little man digging Matt.
  21. If you break a phone cable accidently, you should not have to pay for its reconnection. I never have anyway. Just call out the engineer and tell him it was an accident.
  22. Very nice Anna, but not particulary random Should Matt be worried about the wedding dress picture? Is there something your not telling us?
  23. Take it from me, I slaughter thousands of hawthorn, Poplar, sycamore, willow and oak for utility clients every year, but would still shed a tear over the felling of these Elms.
  24. I gots a dog like that. Best dogs in the world.
