TCW

No super big progress with TFW this week although it has been pressed into service much more than i was expecting. My employers in their wisdom have packed me off to work at Ericsson in Asker the last couple of weeks so TFW has become, on the days when i can't take the train, the commuter wagon and performed flawlessly, well apart from one strange episode turning right when the rear door decided to swing open all by itself, a trip to the workshop soon sorted the sticking door handle and back seat passengers can now feel safe in the knowledge that they won't slide out the car at every turn...pheeew.
All the commuting has finally persuaded me that TFW is actually ready for some fat so all being well i will embark on the next stage and squirt some B100 biodiesel into the tank. Now you would think that this being Scandinavia and all that biodiesel would be pretty easy to get hold of, well just shows how wrong you can be. It may look like there are lots of stations but zoom in on Oslo and you will find 4 - two of which only sell to businesses and one being so far out of my way that it ain't an option. So one station to chooses from then......great.
Still not a simple as you think tho. as biodiesel has a tendency to eat through old rubber fuel lines and block the diesel filters with crap so i'll have to keep a close eye on that. Probably mix with some regular diesel at the start just to see how it goes....watch this space.


The offending door complete with what i like to call 'elephant skin' trim around the window, 25 years of sun and sub zero temps has done it no good, it would probably look nicer if i just pulled it off and had the paint showing... waddaya think?
