without doing the modifications only use 20% vegetable oil mixed in to your diesel. any higher of a mix will destroy the injector etc. vegetable oil is thicker ,contains an acid and higher level of water content,also running on pure veg oil you need to have separate diesel tank to start and turn off the engine (veg oil thicker harder for glow plugs to heat etc) you can filter old chipper oil. do a search on the net plenty of sites.

Without modifications your asking for trouble. You'll need a tank and fuel pump, start on diesel and switch to the oil, before stopping engine switch back to diesel to clean out system. The oil will have to be filtered before use. For what you would spend on modifications and time collecting the oil, you'd have to drive many miles to recoup your investment.

Dont understand plenty with regard to the tech area of issues yet i do bear in mind it being on the information final year that it took off in a city in Wales i think of. Supermarkets have been instructed to alert the police of folk buying extensive parts of veg oil and police have been following vehicles in the event that they could scent the veg oil burning, like a chip scent. It replaced into all right down to fending off gasoline accountability so do your criminal examine till now you do it. in case you could, obtain pink diesel no longer relatively hassle-free to discover except they dip your tank. My mistake replaced into customs and excise officials no longer police chasing human beings and checking supermarkets. they are scarier besides.

You need to add a thinning agent to the oil. But are you really that tight? Your engine will not like it, you'll smell like the kid that works in the chip shop......oh, and you'll probably be prosecuted for tax evasion. Get yourself a nice cheap motorbike mate. Or a better paid job.

well I don't know about diesel but for a regular car you can replace gas with cooking oil that is used to cook french fries and it runs like regular gasoline
