Yea I think it is, KTC stuff.
Not many people can get rapesead oil at the price you get, I've not seen or heard of anyone round this way supplying it.
Costco is a pretty good alternative, the price has been at that level for 18 months or so

I'm not sure exactly, is soya oil bad?
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Piggy - 30-07-2013
soya oil aint great.
I rate them:
rapeseed
sunflower
soya
Re: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 30-07-2013
Meh I'll try it at that price...
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - r3k1355 - 31-07-2013
The rating is mostly for it's 'gel point' which is the temperature at which it turns from an oil into a jelly like substance - and when your car won't start.
I think there's slightly more energy in rapeseed oil as well, so maybe abit more poke.
Either way it's still slower than running on Dino, but then you're not buying it for performance you're buying it to save some dosh.

I've not used veg for a year now, but a quick look on ebay suggests wvo prices on there have crept down again.. Is that so?
Used to see ridiculous amounts bid for cheap shitty lard!
Re: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 31-07-2013
Just syphoned in a load of KTC stuff from Costco, with a couple of litres of old engine oil as I'm too tight to buy 2 stroke. At £17.29 for 20 litres its worth a go, but they do have KTC rapeseed at £4.79 for 5 litres though. If anyone wants to meet me there when I'm going I can take guests in?
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Piggy - 31-07-2013
couple of litres of engine oil?! :-O
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Jonny81191 - 31-07-2013
Lubes it up just nicely
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - samass - 31-07-2013

If it won't stay in the sump stick it in the tank eh?
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - samass - 31-07-2013
pretty much!!
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - r3k1355 - 31-07-2013
Don't get dipped running engine oil tho, it's not duty paid.
Veg is exempt.
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - samass - 31-07-2013
nah, i stopped that when i swapped pumps, im too lazy to filter it so it knackered my vane pump

Hmm, I wonder how they'd feel about the amount of oil my dads SD1 burns...
Re: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 10-08-2013
No issues with the KTC stuff so far
Re: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 17-08-2013
Right, scratch that, don't use the KTC stuff. Driven over to the lakes today, by the time I got to Skipton the car was juddering on boost and couldn't rev over 3k. I changed the filter on Wednesday because it felt a bit sluggish, but there was still some Crisp n' Dry in there so I guess that watered it down a bit. Tank was only half full so I filled the rest with diesel (at £1.43!!!) and it's fine now. I thought it looked a bit thick and cloudy when I was pouring it in...
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Anton - 17-08-2013
Lol i will say it again.... Sunflower is best!
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Tom - 17-08-2013
Veg diesel petrol and 2 stroke oil perfect combination!

Yeah that or rapeseed. KTC rapeseed is only £4.89 for 5 litres, easier to pour than 20 litre cubes as well....
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Piggy - 17-08-2013
I did say!
rapeseed is far better than sunflower in my experience. higher calorie rate
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Tom - 17-08-2013
Rapeseed is veg oil.

When I used to have d turbo I run 100% ktc for 4weeks and then I had the same issues you had, had to add 10liters of derv every time was fine with that never had an issue after that

I know what you said but at that price it was worth a try.

you will find that sometimes its actually soya based which is the issues faced here with KTC
PS with a tesco voucher for money off when you spend so much I got the rapeseed oil for 87.5p a litre last week!
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Mattcheese31 - 18-08-2013
rapeseed is 18.70 for 20l at JJ foods atm
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 30-12-2013
Right, bit of an update on this. After I first tried the KTC Cooking oil (that's what's on the box, it's genetically modified soya oil), I said not to use it as I had an issue with misfiring/not revving over 3000. Well back in September I decided to try it again because I was skint, and I can only put it down to a duff fuel filter because it's been fine ever since! Been running literally 100% soya oil for 3 months/5000 miles with just a little splash (about 250ml) of 2 stroke per tank, no loss of power compared to sunflower or rapeseed (although obviously a slight drop compared to diesel), and no more difficulty starting than any other veg oil. Best test so far was a night with the car parked in an exposed spot when it got down to -6, double heat of the plugs then turned it over, fired first turn and just needed a little throttle for 30 seconds then it would run on it's own, although a bit lumpily. It always hunts for the first 5 minutes from cold no matter what veg oil I use.
Reason for the update? £14.99 for 20 litres at Costco
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - r3k1355 - 30-12-2013
You're running neat veg in winter??
I think your test was a fluke, it's going to gel up at some point.
If you've ever seen veg thats properly gelled up you'll realise why it's not possible to run a car on the stuff.
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - THE_Liam - 31-12-2013
Had quite a few nights of minus temperatures and thick ice on the cars mate, started first time every time. I mean fair enough I might have a problem if it hits -10 but how often is that?
RE: SVO - What are you paying? - Paul_13 - 31-12-2013
Same here bud running straight KTC from Costco and it's fired up first time, a little bit of acceleration and 10 secs later is good to drive
