Isuzu 2.8 turbo nat.

I thought you had twin tank nat? what you cranking for?

Thinking of chucking the old boat tank I have in the back of the pickup and just putting a valve on the supply.

Wow, that'd be handy for you.
If it does contain palm, I can still run it on a twin tank can't I?
Can you take the animal fats I have left over? the worst stuff I settle out a fair amount of gunk be ...

main suppliers are long life vegetable oil and rape oil. 1 i'm unsure but i'm getting about 10% fats out of it. I'm not aware that any of them contain palm oil. Thinking of a simple twin tank system b ...

um, there's a mix from 3 sources. 1 supply is mucky and heavy with fats, the majority is quite clean and i think its rape oil all filtered to 1 mic. twin tanking looks expensive but if its needed to g ...

Thanks Ged.
