Is it illegal to put veggie oil for petrol insted of diesel? some people say its good but some people say its illegal. is it?
:shock:
-
I think your find its very illegal.
-
if you pay the duty it is legal i believe. A mate was looking into purifying old fat for fuel but the red tape made it a faff for the small amount of money saved.
-
It's legal as long as you pay the extra duty involved. About 27p per litre I think it is.

Being entirely pedantic about it
Vegetable Oil, Petrol & Diesel are differant fuels :wink:
But I know what you mean.
Got to pay the duty on veg-oil

I understand this is if the oil is new, for 'old' or second user oil (from perhaps a chip shop for example) the extra duty is about 8p.
I also am led to believe that you only need to pay the duty if you intend using the vehicle on the road, if you use it off road, then you have no need to pay.
Dont know how correct my information is, and I would advise you to check with someone more knowledgeable on the topic of duty than me :)

From what I could make out on the customs and Excise website, is that all vehicles may use fuel that has all the duty paid on it.
I agree that the original poster must seek accurate information from the relevant departments involved.
