I spoke to a rep from caldo oils who are registered on the rix site as resellers I think.  I deal with the bloke when im in work anyway.  He reckoned even in bulk the bio diesel would still work out more expensive than the normal pump stuff :(

ive just started running my disco (200tdi) on biodiesel, the motors done 140k & ive done about 1000 miles so far without any noticable difference! we looked into it ont web for a good while a few sites mentioned above, we found a place in manchester  www.greengoldbiodiesel.co.uk  that does it on the pump for 91p/L good friendly people & well recomended!   also try this site for listing of filling stations nationwide www.biodieselfillingstations.co.uk  they have an address for one in knowsley but dont know what there like! hope this helps a little.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel  contains a description of most of the advantages etc.


Quote
Biodiesel refers to diesel-equivalent biofuel usually made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Several different kinds of fuels are biodiesel: usually biodiesel refers to an ester, or an oxygenate, made from the oil and methanol, but alkane (non-oxygenate) biodiesel, that is, biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuel is also available. Sometimes even unrefined vegetable oil is incorrectly called "biodiesel". Unlike unrefined vegetable oil, biodiesel does not require fuel pre-heating and filtration due to issues with coagulation, and also require no or minimal modification to the fuel system. Alkane biodiesel is of a similar viscosity to petrochemical diesel, and is usually of a higher quality than petrochemical options available on the U.S. market.


too many big word in there for me to understand at 23:30 :lol:
