To the amazement of work collegues who were looking on I poured my first 21 lt of oil into the tank a couple of days ago,having cleared the shelf of my local sainsbury's store.
I must say that it felt a little strange pushing the trolly through to the check out with 7 3lt bottles on board and although no comment was made I just wondered how long it would be before some 'well wisher' blew the whistle and twigged on to what we were up to ?
I have now sourced and ordered 3 20lt drums with the help of my local Kebab shop,which saves any future feelings of guilt whilst walking around the supermarket.
Anyhow I poured the stuff in,managing to spill some of it down my shirt and trousers and then rocked the paj from side to side. Did a final 'shake' by driving down the car park pulling swiftly to the left,then to the right < like they do in formula 1 you know when they warm the tyres up >.
The bar-b-q smell was instantly evident,which proved it had mixed.
So far the motor has ran like a sewing machine with no problems.

What price are you paying for the 20 litre drums? And are you going to buy it through them, or did they just give you the name of the supplier?

Thanks

It's gonna be £9.50 a drum,thats the price the supplier is charging the kebab shop,so its not direct from the supplier.
Actually having worked it out it aint much cheaper than supermarkets.
The beauty is though that it takes away 'guilty' feeling at the supermarket checkout.

There is nothing to feel guilty about as it is perfectly legal,
you will find that a lot of large haulage firms are using it.
as long as the tax Wink

is paid then no probs
