Running on Vegetable oil ?
Discussion
Went to Costco in Reading today.
In the car park a dark coloured BMW 120d was parked in the corner well out of the way.
Whilst i sat in the car eating my lunch - i noticed a young guy come out of costco with a KTC 20 litre can of vegetable oil walking towards the BMW.
He then proceded to pour the oil into the tank and then drove off.
Correct me if im wrong, but i was under the impression that newer diesels could not run on this type of fuel. Would the car have been converted in some way?
Can my 51 plate b6 Audi A4 1.9tdi be run on this fuel without modifications?
Is there any detremental effect on the car or on performance?
Is this legal as i guess he isnt paying the fuel duty or vat (is food stuff excempt from VAT?).
