digger Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 wait for the "no unleaded" signs to be put up then cruise in and fill up with diesel :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 All the stations near me are back to normal, all those peole who panicked have done is given the feul companies a nice little boost to their earnings this week, so pretty counterproductive action :*) OK, all you deisel drivers, who is going to be brave enough to give this a go, or who has alreday tried it??

tenbears10 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I filled up this morning and Sainsburys was the quietest I've seen it in years :( Stuartp I've been looking into that recently veg diesel this explains how to do it without conversion. I think it comes down to the fact that the veg oil will crystalise in cold weather and screw up the injection system. Either you use a high % of diesel to veg oil or a conversion which heats the engine with diesel before switching to 100% veg oil from the secondary tank. You still have to buy the veg oil and pay 27p/L duty to Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Does that mean you'll be lamping on your bicycle when we all go out in the 4x4? :( The bike lights I have got will put most lamps to shame! And besides the sight of me in my lycra shorts will knock 'em over before I get there! Deadly accurate to 100 yds, easy. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 So what your telling me is that the S410 you just bought is waisted money, as all along you had the ultimate pest control weapon, You in Lycra Cycling shorts. :( I could clear the field in no time, but how am I going to get them back? They get stuck in the spokes when I hang them from the bars. I have lost count of the times I could have kicked one when on the bike. I seem to be able to get that close to them! Wouldn't do it in a million years ofcourse, less for me to shoot then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 And besides, you cant get cycle shorts in Max 4 and we dont want to see you in them either :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Filled up with fifty quids worth of diesel this morning, no waiting. Trouble is all the local busmen have gone on strike and you can't get from all the park and rides on the outskirts in to Norwich. They've pulled all the car parks down as well so theres nowhere to park - carnage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkBoy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Whitebridges........ Aaah Norwich.....A Fine City.....when the road system actually works properly! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Isnt Norwich where they were going to introduce the commuter lane. I.e. cars with more than 1 person could scoot in using the bus lanes where as single occupancy cars would be stuck in a single lane of traffic? Axe.

NorfolkBoy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Not sure about the single occupancy system....... I do know that Norwich has the worst traffic managment system.....All due to the local council (guess who controls that? :< ) looking to punish ordinary rural folk who have to drive to work in the city...... Out here in NJ we used to have car-pool lanes but that was abused by people sitting blow-up dolls in the passenger seat :( So they did away with them......
