    The reason you're not allowed to put used engine oil in your tank is that it is used to disguise Red Diesel.

    I used to put veg oil into a 20L jerry can and use that to put it in the car. It didn't make too much of a mess although I scratched the paint a couple of times filling up in the dark.

    I used to run veg oil in a diesel N/A escort, that had a lucas pump and didn't seem to mind after 10k or so. Another mate did the same with a fiesta on the same engine/pump. Cars that have mechanical injection are cheap bangers anyway, so its hardly the end of the world if the pump fails after a year....

    Just while this is still up and going.

    I was talking to my folks and my maw was asking the legallities of it....

    I have heard its up to 2500 litres of Veg a year is tax free?

    How do/can they monitor it? Not looking to dodge it, just curious.

    you are supposed to keep logs, and they may ask to see them. How accurate the logs on the other hand? Hard to enforce that.
