We used to have a red diesel pump up until about a year ago. Your firends must be pikeys.

My mate knew of a petrol station that used to do red diesel. If the owners saw people filling cars up with it, they'd call the police str8 away.

No it doesn't work like that. On mine i have a luca pump, veg oil fucks them up. This biodiesel stuff is differnt to normal veg oil, its refined and stuff in some sort of way, some process anyway.

It's cleaned and mixed with alcohol to make it thinner. Veg oil freezes too.

veg oil strips all the shit from the lines etc so you have to change the fuel filter quite regular at first, something like every 500 miles. I'm proper gutted I don't have a bosch fuel pump. I'm considering finding an old 306 with one as they will run pure veg oil all day.

I'm sure my farmer friends have been tested before. I think the problem is more that if you're caught the penalties are quite severe.
They even run the tractors on white when they're doing haulage as its so bad being caught avoiding the duty. Get some looks filling a John Deere in Tescos
Biodiesel station data also added to Location Services. One near me, might have to look in to this for the Freelander.

where du get veggie oil so cheap, cheapest i can find it round here is in sainsburys for 56p a liter
100% veggie oil must really run like cack on a cold morning start up unless of course you dont wake up in the morning
