So of course, it had to happen given the high price of red diesel now.. apparantly the RN DM3 can run on old engine oil. difficult to start in the cold I guess, but then a little diesel may help that along.
Anyone got experince of this sort of thing? I know it would mean a tank conversion, filter replacements, and so-on, but it could mean cheaper running, and no declaration of tax that is incorrect.....
hmmm

Keith & Jo of nb Hadar did the BCN explorer in the company of nb Kyle which has an RN running on engine oil, http://narrowboathadar.blogspot.com/2008/08/bcn-cruise-countdown.html
Ahaa - Brian Jarretts boat!! I have spoken to him before I even got the ol' RN, so it seems another phone call won't go amiss.. Many thanks Andy.
Steve, Have just been speaking to Brian (I have a load of oil that I hoped he would want but he has enough) and he says that there isn't much to converting a RN to run on oil. Basically just increasing the injector pressures and using 2 filters. He says that he is often at the factory if you need to contact him.
