You will also find, people who have never used veg oil before tend to go along with "You must have a heater and seperate tank fitted" advice... because they dont know any different & believe the hype that it will cause probs if you dont.
Whereas... if you speak to someone who's been mixing it in with derv for years, they'll laugh at the idea of a heater/tank etc being needed.
I ran veg oil/derv 50/50 for many months.... no probs, quieter engine, slightly better acceleration (due to better compression i guess). I suffered a bit of splutter of the engine on the 2nd week... but new fuel filter rectified it.
As abyssdj said, it does seem to make the engine run better.
In Kelso (scottish borders) i saw a guy in the supermarket carpark pouring a litre of veg oil into his pugeot 205.... (later discovered its what most of the boy racers are doing) :shock:  :shock:

jamesledingham:
off the record so to speak, do those of you on this forum that use vegoil declare it to my tax man?

Edge:
Definately....

Range Rover Blues:
I lookes into making bio myself, I have contacts to get SVO at wholesale and apparently if you manufacure small amounts the procedure for paying tax has been simplified, not eradicated.  The mate I share the unit with uses loads of derv every week so it looked a go-er, but now he's found out where to buy Derv from the scrapyard at half price, if they don't sell it on they have to pay to discpose of it apparently :?
