Needs a bigger shed + dead Member 27, 1283 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 255 665.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	little_a said: What would be the result of running 50 50 Diesel/ veg oil?? Andy, your Peugeot would be fine on Veg Oil mate - they actually run cleaner than they do on Diesel ! Be warned though, they really do smell like a chip shop and that's how the Police catch you. If a copper gets behind you, you're nicked and the Revenue and Customs wil pursue you for the fuel duty. They have to prove how much you have used, mind you.

You may get away with single tanking veg in real old diesels. Waste veg will require dewatering and filtering before use. Biodiesel should work (providing its good quality) in any diesel without any modifications.

What? Did you read what I wrote mate? I was responding to the suggestion that we massively put up alcohol and tobacco taxes and reduce petrol tax.

Its about 5 mile just down your driveway isn't it?

Erm, well, without a National Health Service or effective welfare state for a start. With only a tiny fraction of the roads, railways or infrastructure that most other developed countries have per capita. Attempting to compare the US with the UK is a fruitless task.

And again, my point wasnt that these consequences were of putting the tax on petrol up, they were of taxing the tobacco and alcohol industries out of business. By doing so, we would have to find the tax from somewhere else, or reduce government spending, that is all.
