Bio Diesel in a C5

[Technoprat]

The pump might (conceivably) fail, (the usual claim),
but 30,000 miles on WVO didn't give rise to any failure
of my F*** TDCI common-rail engine . . .

I should add that the F*** was pretty w***** when I started; those
30,000 miles were from 130,000 to 160,000.

If anything was going to let go, it certainly would have by now ...

It pulls like a train, will reach 125 mph with ease, turns in 61.5 mpg
at motorway speeds - all on the crap that the local pub throws away . . .

PS: I cannot tell a lie ... there's a lot of work turning the crap into
useable fuel ! But it's still vegetable oil ATEOTD.

No. It's because they recognise vegetable oil as a valid fuel . . .

No, that is the reason why they slapped the full rate of duty on it and called it "Diesel substitute" (the bar stewards).
Why they brought in the 2500 limit was to avoid being taken to court for breach of the Kyoto agreement by having made renewable fuels more expensive than fossil with the above action.
The 2500 limit was a compromise to exclude the costly to process small producers' duty payments while still retaining a decent income from the big boys.
100,000 miles of duty free motoring has saved me a fortune
