Ive put the odd gallon of veg oil in with my diesel (when low and no garage near)
But i have heard it causes problems if used on its own, i would go with biodiesel myself.

Hmmm ,I am going on the information supplied by my local ( Dundee ) Customs and the information our road fuel testing guys have .
LYNN ( no E ) Laughing

kindwarf , I know the merc, pug and VW engine run ok on 100% as does our Ford tractor cant see any reason why not for Trooper Wink

Apparantly the 2.8 will run fine on 100% providing it is kept hot so the 3.1 should be the same. I fancied trying but waiting for a 100% reliable preheating system for the oil. Got 2 tanks & changeover solenoids in place already so just need the heaters. You are supposed to pay duty on oil if used for fuel but who would know if you buy as much as a chip shop from a wholesaler?
