The indirect injection BMW M51 engine is quite happy running on veg oil.
Been running mine on a 50/50% mix of SVO/diesel for about 18 months now.
Starts OK on a 50% mix but harder to start in the cold when using 75% SVO.
Mixing in the tank is the only problem. The method I use is to run the tank down to nearly empty, fill with 40 litres diesel at the garage then add 40L SVO back at home. Take it for a spin to let it slosh around and it is generally OK. The spill back helps mix it.
The in tank pump may pack in if you go over 50% in the cold weather.

WVO is hard to come by. Every man and his dog wants it.
I use SVO from Costco at 90p/L in 20L kegs. I get 4 or 5 kegs every time I go there. They think I own a big restaurant.

You can put heaters in. Usually if you go for a twin tank system.
Start on diesel and then when everything up to temp switch to second tank on 100% veg oil.

French tax is more than ours now. They are all coming over here to escape.
