ITS talking all day ,,about having the local planning in your homes when a boiler needs replacing,At the same time you get told you have to have wall insulation ,loft insulation ,and anything else they see.
which can start costing the home owner potts of doe.
Then saying the home owner can get a grant or loans..
dab 97.3 fm
or on the internet

Green tax on conservatories: Home improvements will trigger 10% levy | Mail Online

Will possibly lead to more work by unregistered fitters if additional costs are there if boiler is 'signed off'

yep lets screw every penny out of the mugs we have registered and help the unregistered cowboys yet again
37p bonus for tobaco smugglers 10p of tax for millionaires

 

[Puddle]

As said all it will lead to is more unregistered work,however remember this has nothing to do with being green really ,it is to do with the simple fact,like it or not,we can not keep on using and wasting the amount of fuel we do at present,we simply as a country can not afford it,it is sucking to much wealth out of the country as it is and it is not economically sustainable
Personally I think it is time we got into some serious alternative fuels in stead of messing about with the micky mouse wind,solar and ground heat source stuff we have now

imho

disel is to go over £3 per/l later in the year some petrol station owner told me

If that happens the country will decend into total chaos.

I personally think it will end up at £3 a litre in the next few years, but doubling in price in the next six months is pretty unlikely.

PS - I might get my van gas converted!!

Had a mate who did that for ages. He's a member of this forum actually but doesn't come on very often. He's away with the mrs at the moment. I was facinated as I've always wanted to do it, but not had the guts.

He started mixing it 50/50. In the end it was 100% cooking oil. Rape seed so not cheap, but cheaper than fuel.

He said you need a van with a good fuel pump and ideally not a turbo.

 

[Roger Welton]

Cooking oil is better in older non common rail diesels I think, often wondered about popping into bookers and getting a few catering size cooking oil drums

 

[Howsie]

Oil with a couple of spoonfulls of meths. Works a treat, even on a turbo.

Watch this space, i'm converting my van shortly. Toyota deisel to lpg it will not run on lpg alone but maybe 25 - 30% LPG
SAving fuel, I will do the conversion and and have the links to the kit. step by step guide. Hopefully by the end of the month

 

[dancinplumba]

yes you can, as a mix and think non turbos only

 

[ecowarm]

It will only work on turbo deisels, does anybody make a non turbo deisel van?

 

[dancinplumba]

ok

 

[dancinplumba]

used to make my own biodiesel with new cooking oil, dont need to filter and do titration test, but its too dear now with the cost of methanol as well. carnt even get used oil for nowt now

 

[ecowarm]

It will not work on non turbo as its (LPG) added pre turbo in air intake and the turbo then mixes it before its fed to engine. The deisel is then ignited which in turn ignites the LPG which then burns hotter and then ignites any unburnt deisel, you get a full 100% burn, ie no smoke out exhaust = more to the gallon/ litre

 

[Dannypipe]

Yeah you can get non turbo vans!!

Same mate I was chatting about earlier just bought an 08 plate VW caddy at auction. 1.8D no turbo.

Very slow apparently. Only a coincidnence that he got a non turbo, don't think he plans to run it on cooking oil.

 

[ecowarm]

I was talking about LPG conversion Dan

 

[ambrosia]
