I filled my 300TDI yesterday and for the first time saw the notice that it was 20% biodiesel.No worries as mine loves it.I found that out in WA a couple of years ago runs cleaner and purrs better to.
John.

Rockhampton doesnt even have a landrover dealer yet I can go to our local landrover specialist mechanic for parts and if he doesnt have what I want on the shelf its delivered the next day.

I know for a fact that Townsville has a great big toymota HQ based there and yet they cant even get parts. Pretty pathetic and yet people still wait months just to get a new one just because they Jones' got one.

I bet if Mr Jones had any sense he would have gotten Mrs Jones the new Discovery that she would have much preferred. Perhaps things might change a bit when Disco 4 takes out all the awards again.

AVgas is a petrol type product, perhaps you are thinking of JetA1...

As in Avtur.

I did mean to write Avtur!!

The use of 2-stroke oil certainly works, but gawd that would make for expensive fills of the fuel tank if that was your only option!!! I use Motul 510 for my road/track bike (Cagiva), and that's $70 for a 4lt container at mates rates! The bike chews through the stuff, so dread to think how much a V8 Cruiser would rip through in a few weeks.

I think it would be very expensive to run your car on with a dash of 2 stroke oil though. anyone know the current price of kero/litre? I remember a few guys in the darling downs area running their fordson tractors on "contaminated" avtur. sometimes we had to do wing changes on the pilatus porters on the run and there would tewnty or thirty 20litre drums from the defuel there for anyone to take home.

Aviation fuel for prop drive engines is basically kerosene, but Jet A1 fuel is completely different and is more like a high performance diesel product. I found this out for definate the other day when checking out a strip for RFDS transfers and there was a drum of Jet A1 there for a jet and red some specs on it.
