Ask Martin, he's really clued up on it. He might also entertain you with his facts and figures.

Tony

Does the 50 50 mix depend on time of year?

Do you put it in your Motor Home?


How old is you Van

Do you get the same mileage when you mix it?

Is it Legal or do we need to keep records as per information in first post?

Hi IAN.

If its really cold i will just top the tank up with more diesel this time of year no problem 50/50
I change the fuel filter twice a year.
Van is a 2001 pre common rail 3.5 dti
Well 1000 miles went 9000 miles ago no blow ups yet!!!!!
Not used it in motorhome yet i use all my allowance up in van. Yes its legal think its up to 12000 miles but how they work it out i dont know.

Cheers Tony
