hard starting on veg
«

Just wondered if anyone has any tips on starting on veg. I've had a couple of flat batteries this week (thankfully my jump pack has worked a treat).
I use 5-10% petrol when I settle my veg and then that goes through the filters and into the car.
Is there any additives that work to help start on veg and not keep turning over the car?
Cheers
Vijay

I think (as I have never used it) that 2EHN might be what you are after. The various suppliers claim more power, easier starting, better economy, reduced diese knock etc..

As Countrypaul says 2-ehn is probably what you need. I use it in bio at about 2ml/L, it does improve the mpg and power.
I usually get it from a company called Hydra, they do offers on it now and then.

I'd filter first then add the petrol after
filter out the thick bits the petrol is thinning

cheers guys. Tried 2-ehn in the past with bio and I didn't really notice any difference to be honest. Never tried it with veg though.
I could try more petrol after the filtering.
