Veg Oil Conversions

Postby sebringbmw » Fri Apr 21, 2006 12:17 am

Anyone else on here that has done, or thinking of doing a 2 tank veg oil conversion?

If there are others who are thinking - maybe we could get a bulk buy on some of the parts?

thought about it and erm .... even stuck a few bottles of veg oil in with the diesel just to see BUT DONT TELL ANYONE COS ITS ILLEGAL :D . if you ask me it runs a bit better and its better for the enviroment but money talks and the government want 27p a litre or summit like that for duty which if you buy the oil then put duty on takes it pretty much upto the price of diesel :? ..... still , be better for the enviroment . its definatley something im gonna do more reading on when i get time .
p.s. if anyones thinking noone would know you mixed it think again mine smelt like a bbq :oops:

Actually using veg oil is not illegal. Not telling customs and excise is!
