Just mix a bit of diesel with it! Apparently they are unreliable and take a huge current.

Not if it's got some diesel in with it to thin it a bit. Yes, it's a diesel.

There is no need to get a heat exchanger. I run my 300tdi on vege oil 50/50 mix with diesel with no problems. If you use rapeseed oil it handles the cold better without emulsifying.

supermarkets.
If you are already running on vege oil then you would know that you don't need a heat exchanger.

I went up to about 80% and found that I was smoking a bit for the first couple of hundred yards after start up so I dropped back down to 50/50. I wanna try a full tank of veg oil with a gallon of petrol in it so I am trying to run my to empty out at the moment.

If you are worried why not do a poll to find out how many people on here run on veggie oil and how many use a heat exchanger. You can also see how many have had problems. I think your answer will be none and none.

I think the car would stop running properly before you damaged the injector pump, the Bosch pump on the TDi (i presume you are running a TDi and not a TD5, which i don't think will cope with SVO) copes admirably with the increased viscosity!
