OK this is for people who are new or unsure on the subject, not mad professor bio chemists . . . .OK we are talking SVO[straight vegetable oil] the sort you can by in the supermarkets , can i use it in my diesel motor Ming? yes but earthlings there is a few thing you need to know, first is [START OFF SLOW] as you will be raking the Shiite out of your fuel tank/ pipes 10% is slow for a month [THEN CHANGE YOUR FUEL FILTER] now you can slowly start upping it. . . .30% is max summer or winter 40% hot summer ,the chip shop smell kicks in about 25% but not that noticeable , OK for most Lrs after year 2,000 is fine but check spec if unsure , for non copper fuel parts ,old type rubber pipes-gaskets etc [fuel parts only] the Bosch is the preferred high pressure pump ,as after 2000 most motors used bio proof parts as some European country's introduced 5% bio in diesel for de -waxing purposes [what happens to diesel below freezing]most of the supermarket stuff i have tested is good, no water or wax,and filtered to below 10 microns. . .the cost of veg oil is now increasing at a fast rate now ,so you are not going to save a lot, about 45p /ltr at this time,you can turn SVO into bio [bio is thin veg oil] however that is another bag of tell. . . .i will try and explain this later also will go into WVO [USED COOKING OIL] and how to do it the easy way, but thats later , so remember earthlings ,check your parts start slow. . .change filter . . .start a slow increase,40%max in summer [UK] . . . .
