Been doing it since I got the Disco and I've had that 12 years or more ...
I also used old engine oil, used cooking oil, 2 stroke oil, hydraulic oil, all sorts of sh!tty stuff, mostly, but not always, filtered through a drainpipe stuffed with nylon 'scrubbers' and charcoal! When I had to clear a shed I also used paraffin, white spirits, turps, all sorts, mixed in with diesel of course, but if it was combustible and liquid it went in the tank .. I had lots of paint too, but didn't use that ..
Only bought the 90 in Feb, but that's now using veg with no ill effects.
Search the forum, many, many people use it ..

And look what happened to that
Out of all the people I know using the "off the back of a lorry" 20 litre oil drums, 50% of them have lost their landy's in fords... those kind of statistics are way too high for me to risk it 
And look what happened to that
Heheheh, now that's a good one ..
I wouldn't do it with anything newer than 300Tdi ... though Biodiesel is supposed to be OK.
Basically older engines and, more importantly, older fuel delivery systems should be OK .. anything using a computer and having loads of sensors and things I'd steer clear of and use 'proper' fuels ..

straight in, you may need to change the fuel filter as veg oil cleans all the system
If it's 300tdi engine or before (pretty much pre 1998 unless ex mod) you should be ok.
I have ran all my previous landys on various mixes of veg oil but was warned not to use any veg with anti foaming agents but that seems to work as well going by others on here.

Yes been running my 300tdi on it for yrs, veg oil straight in the tank i get it from Makro its about £16 for 20ltrs at the mo
not all oil has anti foaming agents in them, Mostly the restaurants use anti foaming stuff as it reduces oil fires in chip fryers
