Default FOCUS ZETEC TDDI ON RAPE SEED OIL

If any one owns and runs a tddi diesel i thought i should share this with you . I have been running mine on rape seed oil from asda . Roughly about 12 litres with costs £5.00 and top it up with £ 20.00 of diesel on top and a shot of millers diesel additive . Been doing it since sept car goes realy well and is very much quieter .

good news is i got 50 bottle of diesel addative at work,,,,,,,,,,,,,, shame that i got a petrol car

buy a 309 deisel and run it on old chip fat from a chip shop,,,,, thats FREE and saves EVERYTHING ( but the smell )

the escort tdi is the same as focus near as dam it, try three litres to start . If it does not like it dilute with more diesel . My tank is always full i do about 300 ish miles aweek , i put my rape seed oil in then top up with diesel and thats it . my millers additive is about 7 quid and treats 500 litres of fuel . try the web www. vegetableoildiesel.co.uk or just type biofuel in . It is wierd putting food in your car but it works .And if it takes the edge of high fuel prices do it

I used to run my Nova TD on veggie oil for about 3 months

Ran better, was quieter, and faster, and smelt lovely
