Former Owner - need some info before buying again
« on: 26 September 2011, 10:01:58 »
H guys

I used to run a V6 petrol auto Omega estate and a great car it was.  I now need a large cheap to buy cheap to run estate again and was looking at an Omega 2.5 TDi manual estate.  I wondered if anyone knew if they can run waste veg oil or if I am going to kill it doing that?

Hi and welcome to the forum  :y

I'm running a 3ltr estate on LPG. I have a 50 ltr doughnut tank in the wheel and get an average of 200 miles on 45/46 ltrs of gas.

I've found that I pretty much get the same mileage be it round town or distance driving, so having a 3ltr round town now, doesn't hurt as much  :y
