just read that BBC news article about cooking oil. bloody brilliant but they don't say about how it has very little affect on the environment compared to diesel. Vegetable oil fuels, do emit greenhouse gases when burned, but they are considered carbon neutral because any carbon dioxide emitted was absorbed by the plant during its growing process and counterbalances the emitted CO2. its about bloody time the government did something right with letting this tax go, but how will they know if you've gone over your 2500 litres limit?

hey i have had lots of diesel cars and all of them i have used veg oil the only problem with using veg oil is the the fuel pump might not manage it as its thicker than diesel and the fuel filter needs replacing more often but its worth it in the end.i never used a converter or any of that heating the oil crap first i just poured it in the fuel tank and away i go on 10p a gallon!! i do advise using a least 50/50 mix in the winter as the oil is a lot thicker but in the summer i just use 100% oil.i would not use oil though in an engine below 2000cc but after that its fine. but be warned if the cops stop you your oppsed they take the car of you. i use oil of the shelf from asda or from cash and carry

Omega General Help / My Engine Cuts Out as well

« on: 25 November 2007, 12:59:07 »

hi guys first time here i am having the same trouble aswell, i bought a new battery and alternater for it a few months back and it worked fine but i noticed it wasnt charging in low revs like under 2500rpm but i t didnt bother me. but now with winter here the heating is on etc i rarely go over 2500 rpm to charge the battery as its an automatic. the engine cuts out and and i have to keep my foot on the accelarator at all times to stop it from cutting out on most days. i brought it back to the garage and he tested the battery and the alternator and he said they are fine but when the the last alternator packed in it also blows the battery bulb in the dashboard and he said this controls the charging in lows revs so needs to be replaced.
i was hoping if this is true guys and not some major other problem.
