50/50 300 tdi no problems..................just stinks...

johnpirate:
I run a 50/50 mix in my 200 Tdi Disco and I declare the fuel duty.It normally runs fine but when the temperature drops you have to drop the mix quite dramatically.I was in Holmfirth in March coming home after a party .It had been down below 5 degrees in the night. The Disco had a pronounced stutter coming over the hill had to keep the revs high.

Do you actually save much money when you take the duty into account (& where's the best place to get the veggie oil?)

cheers

I'm not sure you do, veg oil is taxed as a DERV substitute and as most of fuel price is tax......
Biodeisel however is an alternative fuel and attracts a lower level of tax.

Daft really as Biodeisel is a direct replacement, veg oil is not.  Just wait till the cold weather folks.
