Actually you could run it on cooking oil, its just that you'd need to do an oil change every mile.....

It took me a good few minutes to find mine. I could see where it was from under the van, but could I find the top?

Had a bit of a disaster the weekend and connected the wrong spade terminal under the dash resulting in a horrible burning smell and clouds of smoke escaping out the window.

Fortunately I remembered this long-forgotten and rarely used bottle under my Dad's workbench and all was back to normal. Hard work getting it back into the cable though.
