I can't believe you prioritized putting out the fire over and above taking photos for the forum. Next time, please get camera and take photos prior to putting fire out.  |

Theres LOADS of Celotex squeezed into Chernobyl.... Doh! Um, Do what for him exactly......??  You dont really go and get a Speccybloke as far as i can see. You just wait around and one just turns up out of the blue. Speccyblokes are like buses - no 3 dont turn up at once - i mean they are like buses. All big and red. (Version of that joke copyrighted Jimmy Carr, cheers, Jim!) We are thinking about Frot Cam... trying to work out how to do it that wont cost me owt.  |

Um, Do what for him exactly......??Why, EVERY green house should have one! Lots to do, install, filter, tinker, fix, buy, change, add to, re-install, re-fix, (fight fires  ), collect waste oil..... Hey talking of that What are they playing at? 1/2 hr ago I asked at my local fish bar, (I normally stay off the F&C but finished swimming and it was on way back), "What do you do with your used oil?" "We don't change it, we use long life oil, - we add to it"!!!!!!! D'oh How can we poor beggers get oiled on that! "What never" "No." SO I says where do you get your oil from "It's Veggy oil we get it delivered (gave some weird name), £10 for 12.5 Kilo" (Would that be litres?) Pretty expensive. (I got 135 L at 55.7ppL and got 100L promised at 56ppL tomorrow of SVO) Isn't there some law against not changing it? Jolly well should be  That dancing milk may not be Lard but sure must be butter by now OK, spill. Hows it done? Chris

Chris, List, Its normally accepted by most professional caterers that "long life" oil lasts approximately 1 week in the fryers - after that it starts to oxidise, becomes tainted and gets so filthy its only fit for one purpose. A good clean chef will change their oil religiously once per week. Any longer that that and you ought to consider eating elsewhere..... Ken |

It's not a place I would use by choice, but I did need to ask about oil, seemed churlish not to buy Cod & Chips, tell you what my exhaust has a sweeter fragrance running SVO. (I don't eat fried foods basically). Frotter wouldn't use their oil.... if they did change it! I'll do a local survey, how often changed, how much they pay/get paid for it's removal. Trouble is small town not a lot of choice! If no one changes it I better get on to Trading Standards - or Environmental Health!!!! Sorry to hijack Frott TV |

Yeah that oil gets pretty scummy after a while. Their chips must taste interesting if they really never change it. i reckon they were just trying to get rid of you...  |

Can I just clarify, are you talking about your body or your car here? Mike |

List, I went into one pub/restaurant enquiring about their waste oil, and when I spoke to the landlady she said she poured it down the drain, like she had done for the last 17 years! She looked at me as though I was mad to suggest otherwise. For some, there is little hope.... Ken |

Hi all I recently started a post with a view a find out what actually goes on in the big wide world of veg oil users ( http://c-zero.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2577.msg21152.html#msg21152) so we could come to some conclusions on the viability of using WVO in a regular way with CHP systems, I have found out that producers of waste ( our lovely WVO) have a duty of care with reference to the enviroment with regards disposal after they have finished with it -as they created it ( the WVO that is) from a process ie deep frying slice earth tubers!! any more "inside" information on this subject greatly welcome, as I expect all and every type of method of disposal to come to light - even the dreaded and frowned upon act of pouring it down the drain with a bit of boiling hot water!!!!!! |

Anywaaayyyyy....... Some more tinkerin to post i fink. So heres an overview shot of the heating gubbins - must make some sense to someone i expect.... Please note fiendish rubber 'wobbly bit'.  Meantime, having had a really nice rest, Stoveboy ambled in at lunchtime to 'help' while he ate his carefully balanced brunch....  Wot a spanner..... So we fired up the great complicated mess in manual mode just to test it like and spent the next 30 minutes feeling pipes, grunting, nodding and feeling a bit smug.... This shot just shows the zone valve really.  So we ran inside Frot Towers and fondled the heat exchanger under the floor - mmmm.. toasty! I had made sure the boiler was turned off (pump ON) so we would see exactly how warm any radiators got. They got at least this warm....  Bear in mind that there are about 10 mostly large rads scattered about the dusty corners of Frot Towers and they all got to this toastiness. We ran it for a few hours and all inmates considered the temperature to be perfectly satisfactory. Result! No feckin gas burnt! Could we at last be on our way to a working lard-based CHP setup? Tune in next time to find out, friends. I mean that most sincerely. **(swallows two sincere pills)** XX |

Hi, nice to see a result Frotts, just in time for a cold snap. Lard rules, praise the Lard and long may it power Frot acres and all similar locations. Keep up the unmissable commentary Super Frot King of the Lard.  All the best, The Panda. |

Well it doesnt burn any more of My Sweet Lard when heat is taken off as we are only doing what the radiator/air normally does. It seems to use around 1.5 - 1.8 litres of Precious per hour. We are going to have to change the exhaust heat exchanger i think though - watch this space. Likelyhood of smug post from Ken afterwards = KenCon5!! More tomoz i suspose. Nuff reSpec in a area, homies. eh? |
