I am running my Xantia 1.9 TD on V100 Modified waste veggie oil.
Has anyone run on this during the winter?
I was alarmed when I put a small bottle of it in the freezer and it went solid.
Obviously the Xantia has a heated filter but if it goes solid in the pipe (or tank) on the way, it aint gonna work in the freezing wastes of South Lincs, this winter.
I have tried adding more Turps substitute, but this will become uneconomic, at the moment it works out at 70p/litre including the extra turps subs.
Has any one any experience of usung the above fuel in the winter and at what temeratures etc and what happened? Has anyone killed a pump?

Do bear in mind that a freezer is a lot colder than weather we’re likely to get in the UK – just had a look at the thermometer in mine & its running at about -28 C
