[L200dlw]

you can use 2500L of veg or bio before you have to pay tax, you do have to register with C&E

[kakikid]

No you don't have to register, only keep basic records of what you are using. The overhead for HMRC is one of the main reasons the 2.5K limit was introduced.

being doing this for 6 years with my 1998 2.5td jeep cherokee,runs fine,winter just mix with around 25 to 50% derv and some acitone around 200ml for a full tank,we have started her at -17c on straight veg oil(new svo)let her ehat up for 10 or 15 mins and she will be fine,good heater plugs are a must as veg has a lower flash point the derv,there is no loss in power and she runs smother,mots emissions are near nil for a car thats 12 years old,if using used oil,filter and de water first,info on net

I went to paris and back on a tank of veg oil in my BMW 530d Touring 2003 reg. No problems at all.

.... also, if you put virgin oil in your tank is it less polluting... and when you've used it in your engine is it ok to put back in the chip pan?

[craigfda]

Have you heard of those new engine adaptors that allows diesel engines to process human mucus? I read about it but I'm not sure if it's a wind up

Where did u get it and how much £££?

I have an electric heater as standard after the filter, but I dont know how effective it is.

I havent converted mine yet but I will soon.

Mine has to have veg oil at over 45 degrees C to not kill pump- bloody lucas!

[kakikid]

Don't have a heated fuel filter. I have a flat plate heat exchanger that uses the coolant water to heat the oil before it goes into the filter.

[tpvalley]

What sort of heated fuel filter did u use?

if u used one?

[kakikid]

Yeah, I've got a twin tank system. See my other video of that.
