Hi guys,
Just to let you know that I stuck 3 litres of 'Tesco' (local supermarket) pure
rapeseed oil straight into the tank of my VW Caddy. Once the dino-diesel had
cleared the fuel lines, I was running on about 50% dino to 50% oil; (about 3-4
litres of dino in the tank) the only differences

I have the workshop manual for the Defender, if I can locate it, I will have

the Defender ( formerley called the L/R 90) had it's chassis extended

One thing that will happen is that your cold starts will begin to
deteriorate. Then your filter will probably start plugging. Then your
injectors will likely, in time, get coked up. Then the spray pattern

they say there is more sulfur in the off road diesel but, that is balony

Thanks Ed. I knew this was a little risky, and is certainly not a long-term
plan. Just HAD to know if it could be done!!

There are allowable differences in the sulfur content of on- and offroad
diesel fuel. If a fuel has been dyed for offroad use, this indicates no
road tax paid. It also may mean this fuel may have higher sulfur content,
although not necessarily.

I have seen diesels running on rape seed oil at farm shows. They had an oil
warmer tank on one of them to keep it thin.
Knowing the history of rape as a source material for making plastics, I think I

practice to do longer term, etc. etc.

Sorry Nick,
The use of alternative fuels does not come completely duty free.
Non dino fuels are rebated by 20 pence per litre.
Customs and Excise Notice 179E has all the details.
Still even on a 3 litre trial there must be some satisfaction.
Good luck with your conversions.

Murdoch,
is this hemp the stuff we know as flax? If so the product is linen, much
valued over hear for table wear and bedsheets. Not sure about Tee shirts ,
though. It really is lovely stuff to handle. If it is inbleached it will
last centuries but will be a natural creamy colour. Bleached, it is
That would be a better use for it rather than eating it. Con artists have
re-named it canola oil.
Well, rapeseed oil and canola aren't *exactly* the same thing. Canola is
technically low erucic acid rapeseed oil. The eruric acid levels in
normal rape seed make it unfit for human

Hi everyone,
I have a 69 series IIA 109' Land Rover with a gasoline engine. I am sure
they must have made a diesel version. I live in British Columbia Canada and
I am wondering how difficult or hopefully easy it would be to locate one
suitable for my truck. Might anyone know anything about
There was recently one for sale in Vancouver that had a Land Cruiser
driveline installed in it, so it can be done.
Also, there were diesel versions, and some are around still, in BC.
Also there is a guy in Sicamous area wrecking old Series Land Rovers,
pretty good stock on hand I think,
If anyone needs 110volt 1500 watt pump/heaters for instant veg oil startups,
let me know. Plug in over night, and instantly switchover to vegoil after
startup. Engine and vegoil tank are hot to go. heaters are fully functioning
at startup. ideal for cold weather vehicles.

No.
Cannabis hemp, often referred to as industrial hemp, is technically
classified by US Customs as true hemp. All other natural fibers of the
