Just started using veg oil myself this week. I put 20 litres of tesco own rapeseed oil (43p per litre) into quarter tank then filled it up with diesel. Just go for it. My drives superb without a problem at all and its been 3 days.

I have heard that if you put in 6x3ltrs and top up this time of year...fine
warmer times as rumor has it one can go to 50% or even more but of course dont forget to declare your use and pay the tax

If you had a fuel heater, or used your car only in warmer climates, you could run 100% veg oil. I know a guy who did this in a Frontera all through last summer without problems (apart from the standard 'Frontera' problems ). I wouldn't recommend this all the time though as you'll probably bung-up your injectors.

Remember that the basics for the diesel engine were designed to run on peanut oil, so really it's not natural to run fossil diesel at all.

And make sure you tell the C&E guys about it and declare it as a fuel. Or at least pretend you own a chip shop.

If you can find a supplier of bio fuel made from Waste veg oil near to you, go buy some, keep the invoice in the motor -erm then if by chance you do get dipped and you have forgotton to declare veg - you have valid proof that veg should be in there
not that you would forget............

If you were to get pulled and dipped could you get away with saying you are using that bio-diesel stuff from Tesco, or is that made of completly different stuff?

Just a thought...
