HVO100 diesel fuel.

See, I'm not beating any drum, you don't like what I wrote, so your placing me in your perceived opisition, I'm not the one in here spouting that "EVs are dead" "hydrogen is the way forward" "ice for ever" , some of you don't seem to get the practicalities of the alternatives, or how good we had it with cheap oil, a time thats never coming back.

In fairness I think it's a bit unfair to be coming on here dissing HVO just because EVs are the future, a bit like those who go on the EV section and spread the FUD.

2035 is 9 years away and there will be plenty of ICE fuel sold between then and now, and even after 2035 as the crop of ICEs sold in 2035 will probably hang around for another 8-10 years afterwards. So realistically ICE fuels will be around in some form or another for the next 15-20 years and in that time HVO will help cut emissions

As for linking HVO to a chocolate company

Tesla CEO supports Donald Trump

VW was founded by Nazis

China builds most of the continents EVs

Saudi Arabia, a country known for killing gays and not treating women very well, supplies most of the continents oil

I suggest glass houses and stone throwing be kept off the motors forum in general

I think you're mixing 2 different groups, the "right" thinking and the "right wing" thinking. Most but not all right wingers support him and none of the right thinking do. They are two completely different types of people

Filled my car last night in certa in Cork. It used be the case that the price of HVO and diesel were the same, but I noticed (after paying) that diesel was 165.9, petrol was 170.9 and the hvo was also 170.9.

Don't know if this is a permanent change or not.

Didn't read the full thread where I redactated that and offered an explination

On the back of this post, and other posts from people saying that HVO runs cleaner and ignoring the environmental benefits (or whether there is any) - is HVO a generally better option than diesel in most cases now?

Ye, it should run on both. Don't want to rain on their parade too much but looks like all they have there is a normal fire appliance with some 'fancy' stickers (and has hopefully been tweaked to run HVO more efficiently) and a battery maintainer solar panel on the roof, the usefulness of which is debatable on a vehicle that spends most of it's time parked inside.

A PHEV/HEV appliance running on HVO might have been more newsworthy, BEV are available too but I don't think they'd suit 'rural' fire services yet.

its not a political issue, are you coming from a political pov?

Is HVO available around Limerick City ?? Circle K Ballysimon Road have it anywhere else ??

Does the fact HVO has no lubrication for the fuel pump scare people. A fuel with no lube and high pressure expensive pumps seems like a bad mix .

It has lubricity additives. Otherwise it wouldn't meet the EN15940 standard
