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 ....

[grenfell]

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.
