2 litres of frying oil for £1.24 but it's only this Saturday and Sunday.
that's 62p a liter, half the price of the pumps.

A bit worried about using veg oil in my Trooper  as i have never done it before ,  Is it that simple as pouring it in half a tank of diesel and half a tank of veg oil of the shop shelf , If anyone can advise me on this i would be most grateful   i have a 1993 Trooper  Bighorn 3.1 THANKS FOR ANY FEED BACK

depends who you ask. a couple of people have told me not to run it as the pumps arent strong enough, but people obviously run it without major problems.  ive run my trooper on 89.9/10/0.1  veg/petrol/nail polish remover
and apart from having issues with the fuel filter head, its running fine

I like the previous owner run my trooper on 50/50 SVO and have had no problems fingers crossed, I am lucky to get 20litre drums for a tenner from a friend, this is rapseed SVO

I found my 3.1 bighorn ran ok 50/50 in summer, I always put 100ml of white spirit in the tank, supposed to prevent gumming up.
I put a fuel preheater on it, as I found temps' below 4 degrees, the engine would be bit of apig to start.
These were my findings. I ran on SVO for 3 yrs.
