Ya, well if I do buy it I'll be running it on used canola, and you should see the stuff that grows in that if you don't dewater, filter and store it properly. Yoiks!

But I don't think I will buy it... Mrs Notfarnow is a patient gal, but not that patient. Too many projects on the go for me to haul a 30 yr old Lister home.

Joe, a few years ago I got some bad diesel that grew a revolting green algea. Plugged my filters and fuel lines solid. Over the past 4 years, I've had more trouble with diesel as a fuel than vegetable oil.
