I would be grateful for any info on compoanies who supply the veggie oil mix that can be used instead of diesel apparently there's a sheffield compnany selling it legitamately - last seen around Hillsborough area but gather they have been that succesful they've moved to larger premises somewhere?

look forward as always to a "mass-debate"
:thumbsup: :clap: :hihi: :heyhey:

theres a place on wilson street, needpsend next to advanced motor services that use this so might be worth asking them if no one knows

Thought this was going to be another thread about the best way of frying fish and chips... (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63255)

Just use a 50/50 veg oil/diesel mix and you won't notice the difference. (except in your wallet)
When the temperatures approach freezing outside you might have problems with it becoming too thick to flow if you use a higher ratio of veg oil.
Rape seed oil is by far the best to use if you can obtain it. Much more sympathetic to fuel pumps and seals.
Oh, and don't forget to register for fuel duty on the oil of course!

I hope you will also be paying duty on your biodiesel ;)

My boss uses a 50/50 veg oil/Diesel mix and he swears by it as he does a lot of mileage.

I have unleaded so have not tried it personally but would be gratefull if someone knows of a similar thing that works for unleaded.

Yeah - it's called an LPG conversion!

There is a firm that supplies and fits a kit for you chip fat jockies.
It preheats the oil and starts up on pure diesel. Get a duty form and declare every tenth gallon!

I've read somewhere that the South Yorkshire Police now run their deisel vehicles on this oil along with an additive saving about 10% on the fuel bill.



Happy motoring
