Yep
They usually carry 4 or 5 different types of veggie oil in the plastic 20L containers for between £16 and £18, and being a foodstuff it's VAT free
Often wondered if one type of veggie oil was significantly better than another - think they usually stock soy, rape, corn and sunflower varieties
The one in the piccy we use for the younger horses over winter to get some extra calories into them!

i get my oil 1200 ltrs at a time now wolf. Give me a shout if you want some. Much cheaper (even after filtering etc down to 1 micron) than buying it from the shop.
Mines currently running on chili and garlic scented extra virgin olive oil from a salad factory!

If you have a 200/300 TDi then you can happily run 33%-75% veg oil depending on the ambient temperature without any changes whatsoever. I just change my fuel filters every 6K but I get them for less than a fiver so it's no hassle anyway. You can run more but I find it 100% reliable based on those percentages. The biggest hassle is getting it into the tank and found a large watering can is easiest..... Holds 10L and has a big spout. There are easier ways but the watering can cost £2 from Asda

Depends on time of year - when it's cold veggie oil gets thicker, so unless you want to get into tank heaters etc you have to dilute
Summer 100% veggie is usually fine in the UK
Winter 50/50 but know others do various mixtures and some cut with a little petrol too

ive got a simple heated fuel filter on my 200tdi and it made a big difference. I run 100% on it now. But smokey for a few minutes then perfectly fine. I shall be twin tanking it eventually (before winter) to avoid any strain on the pump, and to increase its range.
