Dont be a pussy ffs, hunting is nothing, smell is nothing, keep ya windows closed when you first start it.
To hell what anyone in the street thinks, its perfectly legal. Just use it and enjoy the fuel savings.

Don't forget, the first few times you chuck veg in the tank, you're stirring up all the muck from the bottom of the tank.

Which blocks your fuel filter, which causes fuel starvation, which causes rough running.

Just saying.

Should of kept with it for a few weeks or a month at least. You'd then benefit of a nice running quieter diesel which saves you money.
I've done about 2,000 miles on my 406 with Veg, and its running sweet, very very quiet, far quieter than when it was on diesel.

Very illegal for road use, not allowed to use white spirit as a road fuel. (besides which, petrol is cheaper)

I'm sure your allowed to use non kersosene based WS. It's the kerosene (heating oil) that they don't like?

I loved running my 406 on veg oil. Turbo up, fuel pump up and advanced and the thing flew!
Only thing is I did blow the seal on the throttle arm, but hey it's still going even now! Although on diesel at the moment as I can't get any waste oil.
