Tate ran it in his VP truck before he did the conversion.Bio is a good lube and the VP pumps depend on that.Our p7100 pumps are lubed by engine oil.To me the truck still smelled like diesel.When I do notice it, is in summer when I'm running 100%.

I ran Dave's bio last year, mixes well up to 90%. Runs really well. The odour makes you hungry...LOL. smells like a fry truck to me. Makes for a good conversation piece.

Fury,

Yup, just dumped it in. I got it in jugs from Dave that the original oil was stored in, can't remember the size, probably 30L jugs??? Anyhow, big funnel and dumped away. I had no problems with it at all, he makes good stuff..

Its much smoother and quieter than regular diesel. You don't get nearly the clack clack sound from the VP. Dump a litre of two stroke oil in on your next fill up, it will be pretty similar, but you don't get the bio smell with it.

Ummmmmm.....if the truck is still sold.......some money recovered, right?

Just kidding! These things certainly aren't an investment of any kind. Pure, simple fun.........and no, no twins in my future.

Ya, hanging with Kevin is bad news. He wants to bomb my truck more than I do. Maybe if I had his money???
