Well, it was a great GTG. It started as a twosome - Ken and me ;) - as we were working on my car trying to find air leaks on the bloody veg system. There are the best part of 20 joins where the engine could be sucking in air so we were cutting up transparent fuel lines isolating air bubbles. And we've almost solved it. The car runs quite a bit better than it does; once we've replaced a few more joins she'll be running perfectly. All credit to Ken for taking on a system - a complicated set-up, loads of plumbing and valves - and significantly improving it. Absolute top bloke. Gave up his whole Saturday afternoon to it and me. I think Ken is working on some snaps on what we were doing, so maybe a few pics a bit later. Ken's home-made vodka helped warm us a bit and then HitenB turned up so we went and had a drink and had some Forum gossip :o . I've been depressed with the car recently. All that veg plumbing terrified me, frankly (and I think terrified Ken for about two minutes halfway through :lol: ). I was thinking fuel pump replacement and/or whether I had got water in the veg. There's nothing wrong with the WVO or the fuel pump. Just a few gaps in the pipe seals. Marvellous. Cheers Ken.
