Bio Diesel.

- Start date
A friend of mine has his cars modified for this as soon as he buys them - oh and he doesnt go for a nice little car - he was driving jags round. And he says it works out cheaper for him to get them modified. He gets it in hassy off carrs industrial estate.
Are you sure he uses Bio Diesel and not Gas? as far as i am aware most new cars don`t need modifying for Bio Diesel but they do for gas, i also know someone who uses gas and he save quite a bit, i think its about £1500 for the conversion and 60 odd p a litre, whereas at the monment Bio iesel is about 97.9p per litre.
I use Gas, it is around 1500 to convert but gas is only 51.9p/litre. I drive a 200bhp 2.5 turbo volvo and achieve teh same as 50mpg at quick motorway speeds
There are Diesel Jags but I do think in this case its an LPG conversion.
I believe Neil of this parish ran on Bio diesel for a while, I'm sure he will be along to comment soon

he told me to keep going to the chippy seeing as that is what his was running on ....
whilst its technically possible its not likely. To make a engine run on gas and diesel it has to be a diesel engine to start with and you then have to add a full spark ignition system to it. There is one Taxi in accy funny enough that is a diesel one that can run on gas but it was done at great cost as an experiment to show it was possible. I have NEVER heard of another gas/DERV engines car in any of teh LPG forums I go on.
PS, you gan't put gas in a 'standard' tank. it needs a pressureised cylinder or toroidal tank.
PPS, I don't think that modern jags still have that twin tank system.....

All conversions will run on gas and petrol, not diesel though
I had a 1986 and they had done away with the twin tanks then, could possibly still have em on the big engined models, mine was only a baby jag with a 3.6 in it

my mates fella used to buy old jags, do them up then sell them on, they where mainly older ones, he had some gorgeous looking ones though
Mines not so gorgeous now, was bought by an insurance fraudster, wrapped it up with a BMW, 7 occupants total in both cars all with back/neck injuries, had fraud squad round here, ringleader/buyer of the two cars got jailed, not sure what happened to the rest - the fraud guys were the best people I have ever spoken to about cars/driving, told me of the latest scam etc that were going round at the time and what to watch out for

sorry flashy, I actually mis read your post. Yes, all gas converted cars keep a petrol tank, some choose to remove the original one and fit a small one so they can use the space for the gas tank(Mainly 4x4's). My Volvo holds 15 gallons of LPG and 15 gallons of Petrol. If I was to fill both I could drive for > 800 miles without stopping(wee permitting! )
