Becoming a veggie

I think it's more to do with HMRC. The boys in blue are pussy cats compared to these bastards.

In theory anything you put in the tank should carry fuel duty, but the sort of level you're talking about isn't going to attract too much attention - probably.

Same situation with LPG - autogas carries fuel duty. Same stuff bought over the counter in a bottle does not as standard therefore you are supposed to declare it if you are going to pump it into your V8's gas tank.

You can use up to 2,500l/year without having to pay any extra fuel duty.

The HMRC link on that page is now a 404 and the fing useless search engine on the HMRC site doesn't find it, niether does a site: restricted google. The "national archive" only goes up to 2006, the brief we are looking for is from 2007...

I run 100% veggie, although it is a two tank system. I buy my veggie from Makros at 76p/litre and ran all through this winter on this system. I admit its a bit sluggish straight after changeover (when it very cold!), but I can't heat all the veggie in the lines! When that's though it's fine. I have a Bosch injector pump.

Interesting. There's no similar concession on LPG to the best of my knowledge.

Well it probably all stems from the fact that veg oil is bio, where as most LPG is dino.
