If you want the pleasent aroma, the old oil from the fat fryer would prob be better used to fuel the immensely powerful Royal Enfield Diesel ! (but you'd have to get one first  ) ps - a few drops of castrol R in the fuel tank of an old bike (with carb) can smelll sooooooo good, but you have to be following............ |

No, no, not mine at all, just did a web search for Diesel Enfields as knew they existed (tho only ever seen about 3). They're relatively new, at a guess within the last 10/15 years??? http://www.dieselbike.net/royalenfield/royalenfield.htm |
