I have run the Hilux on sunflower/diesel mix. TBH most 'veg oil' probably contains some sunflower oil.

Yep, no problems. Most "veg oil" Is a mix of Sunflower and rape seed oil.

Incidentally, Tesco's have an offer on KTC veg oil. £4 odd off, so woks out at 75 p a liter!!

Sunflower is one of the best veg oils - better than rapeseed :D
