It appears to have a slightly lower viscosity, but slightly higher
iodine content than rapeseed. Other values are fairly close, so
it should be okay.

The iodine content is, to a degree, only relevant if the the oil
isn't completely combusted in the chamber, as higher levels
can lead to glazing, buildup or whichever name you prefer.

Cooking oil based on soya oil is cheap at Makro - just less that £9 for 20L. I presume that that will do fine! Does anyone know different?

They do charge in arrears,

That's what I was checking. Someone, ? wrote following instead of
previous.

Remember that you have a duty to keep your records for 6 years.

Same as all tax records.

I thought they charged in arrears?

They do charge in arrears, you HAVE to be "Entered" by the Customs, and that involves submiting your EX103.

Once you have been "entered" you must record your usage, and send in the HO930 on a monthly basis along with your payment for duty.

Even if you do not use any, and therefore have no duty to pay, you MUST still send in the HO930.

If you do not receive said HO930 by the end of the month contact the customs for a duplicate to be sent - if they know you haven't received the form they will look benevolently on you should the replacement not get back them before the 15th.

The HO 930 form that you fill out each month is meant to be for oil you intend using the following month. If you start using Vege before you have filled out the HO 930 i.e before you are registered, they can still Scr*w you.

Anyway, i have a 92 2.4ssr-x and i love it, this thread is a great read and i am seriously thinking of trying veggie oil. Call me thick (not all at once), but i have skipped a few posts along the way, but will sunflower oil work as well?

Sunflower oil is almost, not quite, as good as rapeseed. The only
difference is that sunflower has a slightly higher iodine content
and a slightly lower cetane rating than rapeseed.

Make sure you are fully registered before you start using. If you get stopped and dipped and you haven't got a registration number, you can still get done.
