Ford Focus 2010 TDI

You want to use 1000L of oil 60L at a time? How many miles is that? 600 to a tank? So it will take you 10k mikes to use it up. They want it sat there all year?

You are mental to be even considering using 3 year old oil in a modern engine.

No, its a health and safety issue and Im doing the firm a favour by getting rid of it. Fire regs say it shouldn't be there if not being used coz eventually the tank could rust from the outside as its v damp in the cellar.

This isn’t your problem it is the companies.

Leave them to resolve it - trying to put it into your car is retarded don’t waste anymore time or effort thinking about it.

in fairness he will save about a grand.....which will be handy to pay for a new fuel pump, injectors etc.

Ok, I've took all the comments on board, done all my research and made a decision. What Im going to do is everytime I fill up I will put 2 gallon of heating oil to approx 8 gallons of regular diesel and if it knackers anything so be it, Ill just part ex it for a newer model.

Thanks for all your replies.

So you are going to make it last for 4 years and knacker your car in the process?

Fill yer boots.

Just come off the phone with a mate who drives a concrete mixet and a bloke he works with, his brother has the same car as me and has been using kerosene in a 50 50 diesel mix for the last 5 years and he does approx 11000 miles per year with no problems whatsoe er, it starts 1st time every morning and all mot emissions pass with flying colours. If all of you saying it will knacker my engine, how do you know if you havent tried it yourself or know someone who has with bad results. My car will no doubt be knackered in 4 years anyway and if not Ill be looking to change it anyway so it doesn't matter :-)

Stop dilly dallying and do it as you rightly say that 2010 Focus TDI willl be worthless when it’s 13 years old / scrap value.
