Well, it just had to happen, come away on holiday & she decided to break down
I've been running her on a blend of Waste veg oil (wvo) and BP ultra since she was 1 yr old - with no ill effects - 10% through the winter up to 50% during the summer months.
Saturday I added 20 litres and drove to the garage to fill to the brim with dino. Drove 250 miles (A40/M6 was all pretty good going, mostly (cough) 70 -ish:devil: - ok, ok 90 - 95 but in my defence I was keeping up with plenty of others) then filled to the brim again with Asda's dino before continuing my journey to Windermere.
Sunday morning the engine turned but she wouldn't catch, the guy in the next chalet even helped out with jump leads but nothing.
Monday I called out the breakdown & he reckoned there was fuel at the filter but not getting through to the jets.
He ended up towing me to Rayrigg in Bowness/Windermere.
So far they've put in a new filter - she fired & ran for a while then stopped & refused to start. Next step is they are going to drain the tank completely & put in some fresh...
Sounds like HSBC's profits won't be relying on my millions this year
