Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I think the sweet smell of chippie oil has infused Dirks brain.....

I have done appox 25000 km on it and get arround the 8km per liter mark......BUT.....70 % of my driving is between sites and 30 % is overrloaded with 15 guys or 40 bags of cement....still a big saving but def a bit down on power

So as expected the Firetruck is averaging 6,3 km/l around town and this is with either straight biodiesel or with a 25% diesel/75% biodiesel mixture.

However on the open road with the trailer I am getting almost 8 km/l with the mixture as opposed to the 5 km/l I got with straight biodiesel.

Temps go up with the mixture but nothing concerning.

Definitely more vooma with the mixture.

Dude .....the fire truck lady has a heavy foot

So....... now that everyone is going green I cannot get my hands on more biodiesel

So its actually working out so much cheaper that its now a rare item

HAHAHAHAHA..... yeah... even I battle to get.... I should have just kept my mouth shut....

Sadly it is a matter of return oil that they get back from the people they supply the new fresh oil to. There is only so much oil out there that they supply, so we now share the spoils (gains) for out thirsty diesels.

But still worth it though.

Will be seeing the "possible" additional supplier tomorrow if all goes well.
