All has been quiet since last year, when I posted the message about running for four years.
The car has been pretty reliable (touch wood) but I've had trouble getting a plentiful supply of waste vegetable oil. One of the take-aways I used to collect from has decided to dispose of it another way. This has left me a bit short of fuel on occasion.
Follow our antics as we run our Mercedes 190d (and now 300td) on straight and waste vegetable oil across Europe to demonstrate the use of vegetable oil as a carbon neutral fuel for cars. Of course new oil is far from carbon neutral but in their daily lives they are run off filtered waste oil, we don't even use pumps its gravity fed only. Unfortunately the laws across europe mean using waste oil is not always possible. See our other blog in the links section for details of the laws.
