hi mate. bio diesal will go strate in and so will veg. mix the veg with diesal before putting it in. word of worning. make shore when you start running veg ,after a day or so,change the fuel filter as the veg drags the *beep* up from the tank and can block the filter. once changed this wont happen again. go 20/80 veg diesal first then work your way up. lots of peeps on hear run 50/50 and sum 70/30 with no issues. no probs with the 3.1 as the pump ect can take it. what you recon marky?

The cheapest is the best as its thinner
50/50 is fine, the filter will need changing at maybe 1000 miles (carry one just incase), if you have a makro or booker card its about £17.50 for a 20L drum Smile

And be prepared to put on weight because it dont half smell good Laughing
