Adrian Windisch drives on cooking oil

West Berkshire Eco-Campaigner, Adrian Windisch, has been doing his bit for the environment by converting his car to run on cooking oil! This means reduced air pollutants such as the gases that contribute to climate change. It is also a sustainable fuel and so avoids using up what remains of the worlds precious fossil fuels.

Adrian Windisch test drove his car in Europe, in Spain and France. " The car performed superbly on my test drive in Spain and France. I drove over 3000 miles with very little trouble.

"In Spain I was asked if the type of oil made any difference. I was buying the cheapest, mostly sunflower. A friend told me about it and I had to do it. I buy my fuel in the supermarkets, pay customs and excise the tax, and don't visit petrol stations. I'm hoping the price rises in fuel at the forecourt mean more people will convert to a more sustainable future."

"This is a practical way to look at new ways of enjoying a good qualitiy of life and a sustainable lifestyle.Biodiesel has as its main component recycled vegetable oil, using a product that would otherwise go to landfill. Contact www.dieselveg.com for information on conversions.
