Diesel Rental Vehicles

I am wanting to hire a diesel vehicle sew I can do a trip and run it on veg. I dont care weather it is a 4wd a dual cab ute or whatever as long as it will take 4 people. the hire car websites are bloody unhelpful because they dont tell you what is diesel and what is petrol and I was wondering if anyone know a cheap place to hire a diesel and it would be good with unlimited km as i want to do a long run.
If anyone has any info for anywhere to try that would be appreciated thanks.

Re: Diesel Rental Vehicles

you say your in roselands? i assume you mean sydney roselands near kingsgrove correct?
If thats correct go for a trip to mascot as there is lots of cheaper car rentals there as well as motor homes etc.
Goodluck.
Maybe bio would be a better option? you said earlier that you have WVO. PM me and i'm sure we can barter some WVO for bio ready to go for your trip.
Cheers

Re: Diesel Rental Vehicles

Be careful with using WVO in someone else's vehicle. You could be liable for any repairs they decide are necessary if they have any problems after your hire is complete, or you have during it.
the minimum would be:
  • drain the tank and refill with new diesel
  • purge all fuel lines
  • replace all fuel filters
  • overhaul injector pump
  • replace injectors.
And they have the right to recover all of the cost AND any loss of income from hiring the vehicle due to the "damage" caused by you.

Please respect the property of others and use alternative fuels ONLY with their permission.

There is a time worn saying which is as relevant now as it was when transcribed in the bible 2000 odd years ago:
"do unto others what you would want them to do to you"



Regards,
Tony

Dave,
You posted your intentions in your first post:

I posted in relation to that portion of your post. My post was therefore ON-TOPIC and related to anyone who misuses someone else's property.

You can do what you like, I was just advising all readers that this is likely to cause significant costs to anyone doing this, if the vehicle owner finds out that WVO was used.

Regards,
Tony
ps, I tried to help you fit in with the forum, by offering advice to you by PM. As you have not modified your posts or behaviour, I now simply delete any offensive posts I find.

I personally second Nick's advise ...

But I believe you should use fuel that you can show prove of it's source in case anything goes wrong with the hired vehicle "if fuel related". Then you can show where the fuel came from.

Tony,
You are always there when GOD goes on holidays.
Good on you mate.

Have a safe trip Dave

no you criticized and bagged me and are trying to sensorship me into only saying what you like and is your point of veiws and it is funny that only you find what i said about products being cheaper at other places than the guy who was a forum member selling them "offensive" and no one else did.
i suppose you will find anything i say now is "offensive" and remove it, sew much for free speeches.

Fitiman,
I am glad that other people see what is going on to.
