Biodiesel and SVO in a 90TD
jamesledingham:
Technically, for the purpose of tax, SVO and WVO DO count as Biodiesel.
However, you would not put these neat in your tank; you have to mix with diesel.
Baron-Red:
If you put SVO in your tank you are supposed to pay the same tax rate as you pay for diesel :? :shock:

Ultra-low sulphur petrol/diesel 47.1p +1.25p 48.35p
Sulphur-free petrol/diesel 47.1p +1.25p 48.35p
mixed bio diesel is :
Biodiesel 27.1p +1.25p 28.35p
SVO mixed with diesel is NOT Biodiesel... :shock:

I run BioDiesel and have done now for a year. My supplyer now is no longer Morrisons or Tesco's finest but I buy it properly from a local Bio fuel station and the stuff is tops. Never had a problem and never will its oil and it makes ya engine last longer i also get ALOT more MPG when on it. Yes I have used neat veg oil from morrisons but not in winter that is madness. My old series was happy to run on straight 100% veg oil but its not advised for any long period as its still got toxins in which eat away at certain parts on ya engine. Go for it mate.....good on ya. Also if ya get onto the 100% Bio you will be carbon Neutral which means your motor is less damaging to the earth than a 850cc Mini......so ya can tell them to sod off when they start harping on about ya 4x4. Only prob I get is when I am laning everybody in my team whant chips every time we out.....I am sick of dam chips..... :lol:
