Just found out Inland Revenue has changed the Tax laws on Vegi powered cars / 4X4's. Anyone using less than 2500 litres doesn't have to pay duty, - changed 17 june 2007.
Bloody hell not again. The laws that have changed refer to small PRODUCERS of BIODIESEL, which straight veg oil isn't, and not to the USE of such fuels in ROAD VEHICLES. If they catch you using veg oil in your car and you haven't payed the duty they will TAKE YOUR VEHICLE OFF YOU.Just found out Inland Revenue has changed the Tax laws on Vegi powered cars / 4X4's.

vegetable oil bought from retailers as fuel will be exempt from duty,
right then,mr conversion kit expert, the bit that matters is quoted in yer previous post
now seen as sainsbury's et al sell the stuff as cooking oil then yer argument is flawed. i dont think i have ever seen any retailer selling "vegetable car fuel" but no doubt yer gonna come back and tell me that you do. but that aint a testimony. i'd like to hear of nyone else apart from conversion boy here that has ever seen vegetable car fuel for sale
ere pikey, put a copy of yer email up fer all to see. personally i wouldnt beleive it until ive seen it in black and white, like i said the way i read it is how i posted in me last thread. if i see it different in black and white then fair play
Ok, so heres a question about using oil - do you need the converstion kit or can you put it straight in? If you do need a convertion kit, 1 how much does it cost to buy and then fit? 2. Can you then use desiel and oil, or oil only?

If using low % of Veg oil 5-10% mixed with diesel then in most instances you can just put it in the tank and go, no conversion nessesary. The conversion is only nessesary when you wish to run on 100% veg oil. Although some injection pumps are more forgiving than others (Bosch is the most forgiving) I would certainly not recomend high % oil without conversion.
depends what injin ur sticking it in I stick it in my 200tdi mixed 2ltr oil 1 ltr diesel but some people run it 100% oil. It'll run fine without a conversion kit as long as it isn't too cold. the more diesel you've put in the mix the less likely you are to have problems starting it in the winter.
yes but your slightly biased. aren't you?
There are plenty of people out there running 80/90 and even 100% with no problems and no conversion kit.
