I've got a couple of pics. I will try and load them up later, if my internet connection holds up. Its a bit dodgy at the mo.

I made a bit of a blunder, and the only dino I had got had a bit of veg oil in it. I don't think the flame plug liked it much, but she started up and ticked over like it had been running all day this morning. It was around -4C.
I've got some more dino now, so I'll drain out the other stuff in the morning.

I wonder if you can use red diesel for the flame plug?

I've got 10l I could bring to BBB 2013 (I know it's a long way out, but still...)

I always thought if you want to run on red diesel just twin tank but have the red in the auxiliary so if you get dipped they only find the duty paid

Sorry, internet too slow last night. Will try tonight.
It could be run on red. There is no issue really, is not going anywhere near the fuel pump.
I need to go out now and put the fresh fuel in it. Its -3.5.
I wanna go back to bed............

Should be the last of the cold tonight. (For a while)
Forcasting heavy rain by midnight, and chucking it down tomorrow.

Much milder for a bit, so I've bunged in some fuel that is borderline waxy.  Should be OK!
