I use 100% Waste Veg Oil in summer and a 90% WVO 10% petrol in winter with very little difference in performance.
I've advanced the timing slightly which helps starting but if you have weak plugs or an air leak it will be exaggerated by the oil.
Any equipment you buy will pay for itself within a tank or two :cheesy:

i can get cheap waste oil in restaurants,fastfoods in my town. Now i have to learn the filtering procedure xD. i feel bad for doing this to my peugeot coz i bought it some days ago xD. as for the air intake, its only on cold start once a day and it shouldnt be a problem ?
thanks
