it was white diesel lol. the plugs were not even sooted up when i checked them!
at the moment the panda is running well on some fuel i got from some scrap cars at work before the came into the yard lol. .. also it has a bit of engine oil mixed in with it as both were drained into the one container. i have got a pretty big filter on fallout because i run a lot of reclaimed fuel through it, it filters down to 1 micron but is prefiltered with other filters so takes ages to block up (been running this since june and still has good flow).. the standard low pressure solenoid pumps pull a vacuum through it so none of the pumps have to suck bits through.
to be fair i am looking forward to running a diesel car soon (the Citroen BX in my signature) as that will be running on every oil i can get my hands on (going through the same filter system only a little larger to compensate with the thicker liquid) will all be pre-filtered anyway.
im pretty sure the law still stands where you can run a car for 25k miles (so long as you keep logs on how much fuel you have ran though the car) without having to tell the tax man. i could do with re checking that though to see if they have altered it as they like to do often.
ill also be installing a small 8kw diesel heater to the car plumbed into the coolant system to act as a pre-heater for the cold cold winters and prolonged engine life.. not to mention warm car.. no frost or snow to contend with in the morning
best thing is because its not something the drives the wheels i could run it on red diesel in a smaller tank.. but why would you when theres so many other free light oils you can use.
dont worry guys i still love pandas and will always have Talon.. but having a car with loads of space for mods is awesome!
