Vegetable Oil or Bio Diesel?
Discussion
Just spotted this new forum, which is a massive coincidence as I've been sat reading into vegetable oil and bio diesel as viable options all day.
Just wondering, how mainstream this actually is?
Do you use it? What car do you power with it? (powerfully built directors with PA's that fill up with Shell VPower Nitro need not apply)
What systems do you have for collecting and processing it?
Trying to convince the better half to let me start saving for a 200/300 TDi LR Defender, and this might just sway the argument slightly
All opinions welcomed!

AFAIK It's only older generation diesel motors that will accept the change, so your choice of car is limited. Nobody wants to be seen in a 405 any more, however there are still a few timeless diesels, the Defender being one.
I see what your saying about a Micra, but for those who want a bigger car ie. for work, I could see it being an advantage.
I do think Bio-Diesel is more hassle than it's worth, because once the cost of all the chemicals, lab equipment & titration is taken into account I could have worked a few hours OT and bought some fuel!
