Feckall to do with the fuel, more to do with "i recently did the cam belt", I suggest you did it wrongly ..
 
i cant of done it wrong as it runs fine on straight diesel just not on veg oil

You said " have chucked in loads of diesel and its just sluggish with no power" ... How did you get all the veg oil out so it was just diesel?

Check fuel filters and fuel lines for blockages.
 
when i did the cam belt i ran it on diesel which was fine i then put in some veg oil and it ran **** so i limped it to the petrol station put in more diesel and it still runs ****
and cheers mate will look know

Veg oil generally cleans the fuel system 'better' than diesel, it helps flush deposits through which can block the fuel filters leading to people thinking the fuel is bad! It's not, but filters might need changing more often than usual, especially when you run on different mixtures.
