Ulei de gătit în rezervor. Trucul unor șoferi francezi care poate costa 4.000 de euro
Some drivers in France are using rapeseed oil instead of diesel to save on fuel costs, but mechanics warn this can damage modern engines. A liter of rapeseed oil costs about 1.50 euros, significantly cheaper than diesel. While older diesel engines could run on various fuels, modern vehicles have complex exhaust systems that can be severely affected by inappropriate fuel. Mechanic Đorđe Šljukić cautions that the savings from using rapeseed oil could lead to expensive repairs, urging drivers to stick to manufacturer-recommended fuels. He acknowledges the growing interest in alternative fuels like biodiesel, but emphasizes caution.
