I'd like to use the waste oil from the service work I do. Obviously in the correct ratio.

I used to run my old Pajero on cooking oil but I stopped doing it because I was putting on weight. Our driveway/garage area smelled like a Chinese takeaway........ and I love a Chinese!

Personally I wouldn't want to risk it, too many sensors that might not like it. Then it would be a batard of a job getting it out of the system.

No not an L322

Doesn't it cause problems with the in tank fuel pump?

Too much electrickery and likely too many sensors to get past.

A new service station has opened near us, it sells just one fuel at 1€20 a litre seems to be for lorries not sure what it is, only ever see the odd lorry on there and it is not manned, one of my sons mates did the ground work for the sight but did not get a straight answer as to what it was,

There are many of those unmanned truck fill up stations around, as far as I'm aware, you need a special card to access them and be part of some scheme or other.

you are right I have seen others but think this is different sure it is not normal fuel it sells, it has been open almost a year price is always 1€20 a litre,
just googled it and it is compressed natural gas

That's expensive for GPL.

that is if it has the same output as GPL but maybe it has more power per litre

I'm not aware of any gas for vehicles with a higher energy density than GPL so it would be interesting if that were the case. I'm more inclined to think it's a figure to discourage car drivers from stopping

If it had more butane or even a bit of pentane it was have a bit more heat. Or even some enes or ynes, like acetylene!

Butane is not a lot of good in the cold.
Until the HP o rings leak.... I know I've done it twice. Budget for a Viton o ring change and all is fine and dandy
Nope, not illegal at all. I think there is a rule on so many thousand litres of the stuff to be used without paying / declaring duty. I'm sure it works out at 12,000miles a year equivalent. I did 12,000 and a little bit miles in one year in mine when the HP o ring finally let go. Very messy and drips diesel/petrol/cooking oil mix everywhere and it sets into a nasty coating all over the engine and underneath of the car that's hard to remove
I removed the filter from the in tank pump. No more problems
