I'm running on 50/50 at the moment on a 3.1 with no probs, carry a spare fuel filter though - you'll need to change after a couple of thosand due to the veg oil washing the tank out.

I've been running 50/50 in my '93 3.1td Bighorn since I bought it last October. Runs well, but I change the oil filter every 5000Km and carried a spare fuel filter in the back for 10,000Km until I finally changed it a few weeks ago - didn't need to though as it still looked clean inside.

BUT, with the price of SVO going through the roof I'm wondering how long it will be before SVO is the same price or more expensive than diesel?

   svo will do for me   (well untill it costs more than deisel !!!) just  wondering  mate does it feel  smoother running with  svo mix ??  my mate has  a transit van  he s been running it 75%svo for  while and he  says it sounds quieter and smoother ??and he looses a bit  top end .i no its  a different motor but  could you tell me how yours feels  . ill be stickin  with 50/50 though !  start using  next refill i thinks  cheers guys...

I usually use 50% supermarket diesel (Tesco/Morrisons) and the cheapers rapeseed I can get. To be honest, I really can't feel any difference. MPG and accelleration (ha ha if these ever really accellerate) seems the same. I treated it to a full tank of Shell V-power and a good dose of Red-X the other week to see what difference it made - about 0.5mpg more, so I'm not sure I'm going to bother again unless that's all I can get.
