Only got told this at the weekend, but apparently its fine and you only need to mix it with a bit of diesel in your tank and it works fine, no problems. Wish id known sooner, would have saved me a lot of money! im off down asda!
“The enterprising motorist was, so the reports suggested, running his diesel-engine motor on a mix of Asda cooking oil and standard fuel. At 42p a litre, the supermarket chain’s oil is considerably cheaper than the 73p a litre that even a discounted retailer charges for diesel. The astonishing thing was it worked. Without any need to modify the engine, the motorist could run his car on the mix with no discernible difference in its performance. What’s more, instead of diesel fumes, the engine gave off a rather pleasing odour – like frying time at the local chippy.”
“Within a few months, more than 300 drivers had joined Nicholson’s web network. But not everyone was thrilled at the rush to bio. “For some reason, the AA put out the story that using cooking oil will either clog up or blow up your engine,” he says. “Well, which is it? It can’t be both. The fact of the matter is, it works brilliantly.”
“This, Nicholson says, is a typical experience of anyone trying to run a vehicle on cooking oil. “The government seems to be making it deliberately difficult,” he says. “The most important thing to remember is, it is not illegal to run your car on cooking oil.” As long as duty is paid, that is. And Nicholson reckons that, since duty is paid retrospectively, even those who were stopped in the south Wales checks were not breaking the law. “I am driving on fuel on which I have not yet paid the tax. I will do, but I don’t need to until it’s used. So was anyone who was stopped given the chance to pay his tax? If not, why not? To stop anybody for using this fuel is harassment.”
“But there is something appealingly anti-establishment about all this; something subversive about how, largely on individual initiative, undertaken without flourish or fanfare, it is possible to sidestep the multinationals and the government and power your car in a natural, clean and efficient way. Today. All you need is a bit of cooking oil, new or second-hand, and the relevant tax return form, available to download from Nicholson’s biopower website.”
