Title: I'm new to this... also experimenting with svo
Post by: Battletank omega TD on 20 January 2008, 23:43:59

Just dropping in to say hello.
I joined the ranks of omega owner's a few months ago and found this site through google today, so I thought i would have a go.
I worked at a vauxhall main dealer for a couple of years and I've worked on and owned a few vauxhalls over the last few years and this one seems to be pretty damn good, so i'll hang on to the old battle tank for a while.

I'm also experimenting with veg oil as an alternative fuel (fed up with lining the taxman's pockets) currently using approximately 20% oil (svo) seems to be starting & running ok. smells nice too. I also keep a couple of spare fuel filters handy just in case.

only done a couple of tankfuls with this mix. so far so good.
anybody else having a go ????
if your interested I'm using "Pura" veg oil @56p a litre from well known supermarkets......

It would be interesting to hear of anybody else's experiences using oil.
good or bad.     :y

Hi and welcome to the forum

Ive been using SVO in my wifes Rover 25 at about 50/50 mix for a year or so but I dont know how the Omega will cope. Is it the 2.5 BMW engine or the 2.2 DTI?
