Excuse the poor mobile photo, but I thought I stick a quick snap of the new motor with all it's liveried glory!

I'll try to get some better pictures towards the end of the week, including the internal layout. It's a tidy looking bit of kit :y :y

Spotted someone who could probably have used your services the other day; MINI Cooper that was billowing plumes of white smoke like some kind of smoke screen (literally, couldn't see the hand in front of your face kind of smoke) - methinks he found the diesel nozzle rather than the unleaded..

The new, completely sealed, bulkhead was rattling against a bar behind a seat. I didn't even manage 5 minutes before pulling over to stop it ::) ::)

Mate of mine put £100 unleaded in his diesel cost another £300 to resolve (inc refill)  :'(

Instead would like to say have increasing success every day with you venture  :y

Have fun

Good luck Lazy

What do you do with the mixed fuel you remove? There's a limit to how much you can use in your diesel van  ;)

The limit is none for me, I have some mechanical sympathy and it is, after all, a Peugeot ;D ;D

It is collected by a company who (I assume) crack it again to separate it out for a small reward :y :y

Sounds expensive to me, judging by our charges ;)

Like you say, happens a lot (1 every 3 minutes :o) I found the Poll responses interesting and helpful a few weeks back :y

A bit disappointing, it's only little..... :D :D :D  I thought it would have been a big van with loads of flashing amber lights on the roof...... ::) ::) ::)

Good luck with the venture though Paul..... :y Are you doing it as part of a national franchise?
Title: Re: My other transport
Post by: Lazydocker on 25 October 2011, 22:36:48
Van is big enough. Any bigger and lots of rules and regulations come into play ;)

Yep, national franchise scheme, although many have now been sold.
