bmx1lew Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 checked the oil no mayonaise or salad cream, the colour of the oil is like a very light brown color, when i say a big cloud i mean like when you pour loads of lighter jell on a bbq, then it dies down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
