i though it was illegal to use it because your not paying tax?

[smcgsi16v]

I believe its only illegal if you don't 'declare' that your using it.

[JSeymour]

^^ true.

my dad runs his runaround on it 50/50. runs fine but smells like a chippy lol

works out about 75 a litre.

was considering this for the wifes 4x4. Thing is does it work on the newer models? Shes got a 57 Kia Sorenta.

heard that it only really works on old landy's etc...

What does it do (if anything) to the turbos etc...

[Novasport]

You only have to pay tax if you use over 25,000 litres or something like that

[peester]

petrol station 8 miles away sells biodiesel.. 75p a litre; im gonna run on that stuff..

[Nobby]

if you buy it from a supermarket you are already paying tax so thats not illegal my gaffer runs his pug 306 td on it and the change in performance using cooking oil is mad!! smelly though hehe!!

/\/\/\thats sh1te! thats illegal because there's no fuel duty on it because its produced for human consumption. if he declared it and payed the duty, that would be legal.

You can legally produce 2500 litres and use it in a road goin veichle and you dont have to pay the duty, if you produce any more you do though.
