|  SVO with fuel foaming agent? Hi Just been to Makro and they have several makes of veggie at about 95p litre. I got the KTC rapeseed and noticed that it has a foaming agent added, also another brand had it to. Is this still ok to use? Also KTC had rapeseed and veggie, anyone had any experience with these? Regards Adam | ||||||||

| It should be an anti-foaming agent, stops the oil foaming in deep fat fryer. A foam cover will float there and you can't see what is cooking. | ||||||||

| The seals were going to fail veg just sped the process up. If you think along the lines of the coolant system, all fine until you change it and put new anti freeze in. Often you gat a leak at a hose joint due to the searching ability of the antifreeze. Veg does the same as there is often a higher pressure in the pump than on Diesel and it just leaks sooner. However, there is allways one, some badly made bio-diesel may not be neutralised correctly and could be highly corrosive and eats seals of rubber in no time. This is how the stories of seals and pumps being killed started a few years ago when the pioneers were on a learning curve. | ||||||||

| most seals have a life expectancy that these buses tend to exeed, they are as likely to go on derv or veg, best to get them replaced if you can or do them as and when, if your willing to accept the inconvenience......
