I seem to remember not long ago the cheap fuel industry , which the supermarkets buy from, hit on a wheeze of using a lot of waste oil , fat etc. Then it caused issues with cars breaking down and the supermarkets banned it.
So next they dumped it on the carrot crunchers, after all they would never guess why the tractor was not performing, but they were called out again
Now they have the answer, put it in the jet fuel, call it green, what could ever go wrong?🤔🤔🤔🤔
