1.5 ltr pop bottle, base cut off, shoved in the filler neck, fill from 20 ltr cubbies and in the event it gets damaged its cost me nowt, i do have a pump effort that attaches to a tyre pump and pressures a cubbie, from that a second hose is used for filling, takes too ruddy long so i dont use it

I'm not that tight, I throw my coke bottle funnel away after one use, I bet some on here save it to use again!

I am thinking of just eating some fatty fried chips, then just urinating into the tank.

hell mines at least 1000 ltrs old, im thinking of offering it on fleabay as a vintage fuel transfer device

only thing i would add here, you should be filling with a warm and running engine, then ideally off out and let the run mix the veg fully in the tank, cold engine -not running,, you take the chance that on the start you drag a load of neat veg oil into the injector pump and on a cold engine it will run like a pig and cold starts with veg are were ring gumming occurs

Good point Mike.... Thanks.

i just used a normal funnel and poured straight from the 20L drum. not put any in for a while as it was making mine run funny...

will work but slow, reason being it cant let air back into the container very quickly, if you ad a second tube, inserted in the nozzle, thinner and longer, so that when you invert the container the thinner tube is above the oil level it will allow air to enter and stop the glugging and speed the process up

#18 by jimmy495 , Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:37 pm

hi mike that will be a job for tomorrow. will drill a small hole off set in the cap and put a small flexi pipe in so the air can get in. spot on mike cheer mate

Or just stab a knife in the bottom of the veg oil container

that would work fine Greg.

or have a dedicated drum for it and put one of those beer kit taps in the lower side of the drum - same effect but reuseble

#22 by Greigboy , Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:47 pm

I've got an old high pressure fuel pump that I connect to the battery takes about 5 mins per drum either that or coup it in via funnel
