I use 96% SVO to 4% petrol. It would be fine on 100% if it wasn't a git to start on veg

I did for about a week  Embarassed But i was fine Laughing

People say you will need to change the fuel filter after a 100 miles or so, Mine went around 300 before i had to change it, Then another 300 ish i had to do another one but it's been fine since then, Don't forget as the weather gets colder you will need to add diesel to stop waxing Wink

i use bio with mine if i cant get any i use veg oil had no issues . Get a spare oil filter and keep it in the boot when you first switch  the fuelfilter can clog in the first feww hundred mile after that its fine.
The only issue i  had with full 100% used filtered veg stuff was my return on the fuel pump clogged so i had to run diesel through it every now an again via the fuelfilter sender pipe might of been the veg oil  not filter enough bit of fat i dont know.Since then i have only ran 1005 new or a  bio or diesel mix

Mine runs lumpy for about 60 seconds on pure veg, 5% petrol and no problems.
I have run this that way for about 3000+ miles and not changed the filter (I do keep one in the boot) maybe thats because Simon run it dry so often there is no carp in the tank left  Laughing
