If so hows it going, would you recommend it? What about paying the duty?

A lot of London cabbies top the tank up with cooking oil, to lower the cost of fuel.
I've seen a few people do it and it always seemed to work. But i never paid attention to the type of oil, that might be an issue.
Don’t pay the duty, that’s like, well, just, shooting yourself in the ****.

A guy I know just buys the oil in bulk from a bargain grocery store. He has been running it like this for years, and doesn't even bother putting in the odd tank of diesel (as I would). He keeps the receipts so if he is found out he can calculate how much he owns. I guess what he is doing is illegal, but his car is running fine (its a Peugeot diesel).
If you are determined to go by the book, contact your nearest H.M. Customs office. Details from the telephone book / on-line.

I heard all the news about it being fine for your engine, i put just 1 litre in my new diesel and it blocked an injector. Maybe cooking oil is ok for more old fashionned diesels, not the new ones

I've heard it works, don't know about the duty issue though. Is it any better for the environment than using diesel?

The SVO might want to opt to be offered from the farmer. this is important to fabricate residing house-brewed diesel gas to ASTM criteria. before going ahead consisting of your Plan, you would possibly want to analyze heavily. there is truly some information accessible in case you Google. examine Dr. William Kemp's e book referenced below. an awesome starting off element.
