I just thought I’d start a thread on vehicle test data.
I have a 1997 Landcruiser HZJ75 with a 1HZ motor and 400K on the clock. Been running on 100% commercial BD for about 3K so far. Truck runs great, uses approx 12 lt/100km in mixed city, freeway, 4×4 driving. Good power, runs very well.
When I started using BD I bought a CAV filter adaptor and keep it in the glovebox. However so far I have am still using the original filters I bought the truck with approx 4K ago.
Anybody else out there with experience using BD in 1HZ motors ?
Peter.

McDonald’s to power police cars

• July 30, 2008 - 7:03AM

Police in the Philippines are looking to convert their patrol cars to run on a mixture of diesel and used cooking oil from McDonald’s, officials and the company said on Tuesday.
With oil prices at crippling highs, the project would convert cars in the Makati financial district of Manila to run on a mix of 40 per cent diesel and 60 per cent cooking oil, police chief Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz said.
Used cooking oil will be donated by Makati outlets of the hamburger giant, said McDonald’s franchising manager Buth Salaya.
Other restaurants are also considering donating their used cooking oil as well, Cruz said.
One police car has been converted to use the diesel/cooking oil mixture and is already in use, and the government is studying how viable it is to convert more vehicles.
“It’s a win-win situation for us because we will both benefit,” Cruz said. “The cooking oil of their Makati stores will be re-used and the Makati police will use it as a component for their biodiesel and also save money.”
The head of police forces in the capital Manila, Geary Barias, said that if the project is successful, he may recommend it being adopted by police forces across the Philippines.

Today I purchased a new 25 kg bag of KOH.

On 12/06/2007 it cost $63.20
Today 29/07/2007 the price has jumped to a massive $111.95

Just a few weeks ago a friend bought a bag and said the price was then around $73.

The KOH is ex China. The price hike is said to be caused by factory closures for the Olympics to cut smog, and so causing shortages and price hikes.

So either stock up now if your supplier hasn’t been hit by the rise or hold off until after the Olympics have finished and everything returns to normal.

Will the price actually come back down again? Probably not.
