Most of the cheaper Vegge oils are rapeseed anyway. Other oils are being used either neat or for development of biodiesel.
Oils I know that are in use are Corn, Rapeseed, Jatropa, Palm, Coconut, and let's not forget that diesels were first made to run on peanut oil, before the petroleum giants teamed up with the auto indusrtry.
Some hydraulic oils work too.
Any oil for road use hust pay a chunk to HMRC, but keep your nose clean and there is no problem. The preferred option is to run two tanks, as the oil needs heating before the injector pump, so start up AND finish on dinodiesel, and run straight veg oil (SVO) in between.
There is lots of info -particularly the California sites so read all about it first.
I'm putting a prima 2L in a series 3, as that works better than the 2.5NA lump on veg oil. All parts courtesy of Ebay.
