Its just a PITA dealing with all the bottles!
I'm convinced enough now to give it a go. I have an indicated half tank of DERV and its never had anything but in it. I reckon thers probably 30 L in it so should I jump straight in with another 30L or should I try it a bit less first?
Throw it in and enjoy .....
Half-in-half ..... I'm doing the same in the morning in my Disco TD5.

No not for the first time as the veggie cleans the tank out of all the crap, best to put 9ltr (2gallon) through it first. if it starts to feel sluggish remove the sediment bowl and clean it out, disco's don't normally clog up the filter with having the sediment bowl at the back (only cleaned out mine once). I run mine on 25% mix all the time and from time to time I buy some bio diesel to obtain a reciept (in case of roadside stop)

Is it not legal to use veg oil then as opposed to bio diesel? I know about the 2500L rule. Just wondered why you need the receipts?
just being cautious with the receipts, red is a confiscation of vehicle along with kero.
Well, I've gone and done it - 10L of veg oil from Netto. £6.80 for 10L instead of £10.50. There must be a catch?
TD5 runs OK on bio-d. However there is some suggestion that it may wreck the seals on the fuel pumps of common rail engines. The man at Pure Fuels reckoned not to exceed a 50% mixture. It also cleans out the gunge in yur tank and may block up yur filter. See Pure Fuels Ltd - London's Biodiesel CompanyI always miss out when it comes to this kind of thing....I'm reading through this thread thinking, hmmmm interesting, might give this a go.
Then I read that it'll fcuk up a TD5.
So if rapeseed / sunflower oil is out of the question, can I run on biodiesel?
Someone let me know, I aint a happy teddy at the moment, nearly £100 to fill the beast.
