I do remember an incident with Veggie oil being used to top up a Perkins by mistake (Bulk cooking oil from USAF in same type of container and locker as top up oil, label on engine oil one had rubbed off), new crew person was asked to top up oil. Result was complete failure of almost every bearing and ring, plus a real strange smell like badly burnt chips! |

Oil, oil, oil. I'm drowning in oil.
I'm just about to lose the will to live...
But I'm off to Tesco's before... |

I bought a cabbage one day with 3 days left on the date, when i cut it in half it was rotten to the core. It would of cost me 6 cabbages in petrol to return it. This is just one example. When it comes to the automobile as i have been into cars all my life i only buy the best for it as i have been caught so many times with rubbish bits. So offers i ignore as they are probably old stock or theres a catch somewhere on the label. The money saved is nothing compared to the cost of worry if it`s ok or even some damage you don`t know that has happened. OK, so may be alright but i will never chance it. |
