You can use something daft like 2500 litres before having to pay duty on it as fuel (and you'll need to be able to prove it)



You can bang it straight in the tank but it behaves differently in varying temperatures so not great when it gets cold as it thickens and might not burn correctly leaving you with deposits clinging around your system.

I thought it was something like 2000 litres might've been 2500 though.

During the warmer months i'd run my Transit on 50/50 veg/diesel mix and when it got colder i'd up the diesel ratio. Only thing that I would do though is change the fuel filter

I've just had a thought... bear with me please...
compare a car... with a baby.

if your car needs fuel...
Your baby need feeding.

you fill up the car at the petrol station... ( paying tax on fuel)
you go shopping.. (you pay VAT at the shop.) feed baby.


you decide no...

I'll put in some veg oil mixed with taxed Fuel..
I'll breast feed on occagions... = Free Fuel + taxed milk mixture.



I don't know where I'm going with this but there is a point to be made...

Breast is best.. as long as the nipples are OK. (quite painful so my missus said. when trying to breast feed the kids years ago.)



Since the Government is out to screw everyone with a form of transport... the best idea is...

Breast feed and then teach your kid to give you a piggy back every where...


global warming and fuel crises solved...



right who's round is it?

[Spiderman]

a. i'll have some of what you're having Richie, must be bloody good!
b. would it help to feed the baby steroids to give it the strength to carry a fat dad?

Correct on that one...there's no VAT on baby food






And for the avoidance of doubt, you do get an allowance of cooking oil etc. that you can use without duty.

I used to add cooking oil to my diesel Citroen - was great cause it was 35p a litre only 2 or 3 years ago. I think only because it has caught on that it's now almost as expensive as diesel so not worth it unless you can get sufficient quantities of used cooking oil - I bet that's expensive now to

LOL I remember that!!
Thought you were kidding me until you started pouring it in your van.
That was the day you took Mr VT and me to Guildford when you were sorting my Walton on Thames house out!

So by the looks of it, a 2500 litre limit per year as long as you actually mix it with something. (The diesel) marvellous. If only the sv was diesel lol.
