Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / February 2008SVO at Makro
Following on many earlier threads, I was at the Bristol Makros last night. Their cheapest SVO was £14.99 for 20L and zero VAT. I got 120L which at a 50/50 mix through the winter will do me for 4 fill ups. I'll move to a higher concentration: (a) When I get the heater fitted; or (b) When I get the valve and dual tank system working; or (c) When it gets warmer! I don't think that is much cheaper than you can get at Tescos/ Sainsburys et al, but coming out of Tesco's with a 120L of SVO on a trolley may cause a few eyebrows to be raised (assuming they will let you purchase that amount).

Local Tescp to us has it at 52p litre, Sainsburys at 56p litre. I get 20l from each, wait a bit then send t'missus in for another 20l ... they often have to re-stock the shelves ... ;)  SignaturePaul - xxx '96/'97 Landrover Discovery 300 Tdi 'Big and Butch' '98 Suzuki DR 200 Djebel 'Small but perfectly formed' Dyna Tech Cro-Mo comp "When I feel fit enough' staff members get 10% off on top of that if you know anybody who works there! Makes it 5ppl cheaper or so. Mines back on pretty much straight derv now as it is just too hard to start on a veggie mix and totally fills both mine and next doors garden with stinky smoke! > staff members get 10% off on top of that if you know anybody who works > there!

You should hand around the rear end of Simon I for a while. Made us shut the vent flaps on the 110 on a nice warm day. ;-) Lee D >> staff members get 10% off on top of that if you know anybody who >> works there! Makes it 5ppl cheaper or so.

It smelt nice when i was running 50/50, but it just mings horribly now its on about 20/80!

SVO/derv Am I reading that right? Computer says no. Is it the case it's just filled the exhaust and it's minging accordingly? Lee D >> My exhaust leaks too, and youre almost crying after being in there for >> 5 minutes! [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Lee D dont know if you are reading it right? exhaust is leaking before the backbox and sending smoke into the cab (eye watering!). It also smokes its tits off when i start it with disgusting smelling stuff. >>> My exhaust leaks too, and youre almost crying after being in there for 5 >>> minutes!

I meant did you have the svo/ derv in the right ordser or should it have been derv/svo just didn't seem right that it would be more stinky on more derv than svo IYSWIM :-) At least you've talked me out of the idea until I can properly afford to buy the stuff for the heating etc. Lee D > I meant did you have the svo/ derv in the right ordser or should it have > been derv/svo > > just didn't seem right that it would be more stinky on more derv than > svo IYSWIM :-) yep. its way stinkier and smokier on a low svo mix than on the 50/50 mix. its wierd. > At least you've talked me out of the idea until I can properly afford to > buy the stuff for the heating etc. I think i shall stick with derv again till the summer (hopefully it will be easier to start again then). GT currently have proper biodiesel for 92ppl - which is a slight saving over normal diesel. > just didn't seem right that it would be more stinky on more derv than svo > IYSWIM :-) It does sound odd but the smell of SVO even at 100% concentration is far easier on the nose than DERV, but you don't notice that until you've used the SVO then gone back to DERV, at which point you suddenly notice how bad the truck smells on dino fuel. Whether it smells more or not is another matter, but it certainly smells dirtier on DERV.

MMMMMM chips I concur the smell of a blend is nicer than neat dino. Derek |
