I put some in every few months it makes mine run better especially if I've been running on cheaper fuel
Dont try 2 stroke if your vehicle has a DPF ....
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong

Yes I picked that up reading about it but my vehicle doesn't have one which is why I've considered giving it a try.

I've been plodding away in the background checking my torches and recharging my AA and AAA batteries, and I found a torch with a weird little structure thing inside it, and no way to get the AA battery that was with it inside the strucure. I took a photo of it, so that I could upload it onto here and ask what the dickens was going on. Looking at the picture told me it's meant for 3 x AAA batteries, not 1 x AA. I still can't tell if it works, my spare AAAs are kind of flat, but currently recharging. Just paying attention to the detail is *so* important.

Something like this?
Go easy clipping the batteries in many are made of crappy plastic even the bigger brands
I got another one of these recently like the ability to use AA or D cells

The newer ones also have a usb outlet on them as well suppose it's be handy In a major emergency

Andy, it's exactly that, yes. Poking the AAA batteries into each opening is very easy - I guess I'll use it till it breaks, but I'll treat it with care so that it lasts as long as it can.
Jenny - never even heard of 18650 rechargeable cells maybe this torch will take a single one of those, instead of 3 x AAA? Just found a website called 18650 battery store, and it says they measure 18mm around by 65mm long. In another lifetime, I'll measure the internals of my torch, see if thats appropriate - the torch might well last a lot longer than the internal frame thingy.
Ye gods, there's always something, isn't there never even heard of 18650!
Thank you both.

Found a new dealer,
Just had a rubble sack of split and dried wood delivered.
£75. The price hasn't gone up from last year yet.
I'm unable to womble my own wood, split and dry it so I'm happy with the cost.

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

That’s a good price P.
