Post by: Grant on March 03, 2006, 20:34:51: If you mean veggie oil any car can run on it but viscosity is the problem. You can either run a two tank system which swaps over to veggie when the engines heated or bung the oil in the tank and heat it before it enters the engine (disco has a lucas pump? if so not recomended)

any fuel is legal as long as you register with customs & excise, how much you record used though!? duty is about 27p i think

if you mean home made biodiesel i'd like to see what you've come up with. bio fuel can degrade rubber so replacing o-rings with steel is a good idea

Title: veg oil
Post by: LandRoger on March 04, 2006, 16:42:04: I have been useing 50/50 Diesel -Veg oil in my tdi 90 for 5/6 months,
engine so much smoother -no other differances , except a lot cheeper
i use Tesco Rapespeed 40p a litre, just put oil in tank then go filling station
put equal ammount of Diesel in, the drive home mixes it -as simple as that, dont forget the HMCE form to pay your duty :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Post by: woody on March 04, 2006, 16:49:16: should call myself veggie Dave the amount of times ive posted about this

here are a few websites to look at
http://www.dieselveg.com/conversion%20info.htm
http://www.veggievan.org/
http://www.iwemalpg.com/Diesel_LPG.htm
http://www.bio-power.co.uk/svoconference/
http://www.ravenfamily.org/andyg/vegoil.htm

the main prob putting me off is the confusion about the tax (27p or 47p) it makes a lot of difference to wether or not to convert

remember if you are paying 27pence and the HMCE say it should be 47 pence then they will want whats owing :cry:

Post by: steanlol on March 04, 2006, 20:03:36: I used to have a pug 205 gld and ran that on veg oil and diesel , 50/50 mix and sometimes a lot more veg than diesel and it makes no differance to the running , it used to be 27p a litre from aldi i think when i was using it but its gone up now , you can run on 100% veg but when its cold you just need to heat it a bit , how long will it be though till its Ã‚Â£1 a litre for veg oil once the powers that be get there claws into it ?
of course when i used it i paid all my dues
Good luck with your outcome on whatever you do
