Can't Diesels be run on home made bio oil obtained from your local fish and chip shop and therefore are really cost free

some can, others can not. Besides you still have to obtain a licence and pay taxes on that, you can buy properly brewed bio in bulk though.

So is there anyone around the Newcastle area with a primary producers card who will go shares in an amount of plant diesel?

Good luck with that:p

Aaahhh, the joys of working from home. I hardly EVER leave the house now and when I do it's usually on foot with the dog :cool:. If I do decide to take a drive then hopefully the increased fuel prices will mean there are less other vehicles on the road altogether.

So I wonder how much people would pay per litre if it meant that you could go anywhere without ever getting caught in a traffic jamb?

just visited old stomping ground at andamooka. andamooka is about 35k from roxby and usually up to 6c a litre CHEAPER than Roxby price.

price per litre $1.86..


yep that cuts down on the other fluids used during the trip!
(it was 700k up and then 700k back 2 days later..an expensive visit)

digger

Still cheaper than places like Ooodnadatta, MT Dare, and other bush spots.
and obviously than in arhnem land...

if only we didnt have to buy in all our diesel....if only somewhere in australia we could use some of our resources to keep prices down...instead of capping or shipping overseas at ridiculously low prices.......mmmm if only!

Only because I've replaced the Disco heater.

Friend of mine has been making his own bio diesel and running his ML270 Merc and his Td5 Disco on it for over 50,000kms without a problem - except that he says that he has to be quick to pick up the drums of used oil from the fish-n-chip shop as there is now a very high demand for it.

Cost, with necessary additives, works out at about $0.25 per litre.

Cheapest i saw was along the great western highway near St Mary's at $1.72.9. Not good. I filled up with Vortex at a woolies petrol for $1.46/L its over $1.60 in lithgow. Matt
