Happy if someone corrects me but I think it's too viscous for modern common rail high pressure diesels with their ultra fine injectors.

You are right Dean. You might have managed it with an old 200 TDi Disco, but not a modern one. Richard

Never tried those but my fave was frozen cream eggs. Truely yuuuuuuuuuuuuum.
I used to run my RR-classic soft dash on it, It ran ok but was difficult to start on a cold morning, everybody who followed me used to think "i,m starving and I can smell that there is a chippy round here somewhere" The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

As said above bad news for any common rail engine and tbh I dont think its much good for any engine unless refined correctly, just because they run on it doesnt mean they like it.
Ive tried 200tdi and 300tdi on it and with both once I got close to 50/50 new veg oil and diesel mix the car was down on power, strangely the fbh seemed to be just fine on it!
Then I bought a 200tdi engine that had been ran on veg, wasnt long before the injector pump threw in the towel, so any potential savings wiped out in one swoop.

It might be ok if the car is chipped.

I used to work with a guy who ran an old Peugeot on the stuff.
It was a killer if I had to follow him to a job especially if he put his foot down and a ton of smoke came out of the back as well

A couple of mates use new chip oil in their 300tdi’s but one uses old filtered chip oil and it STINKS when following him

My 300tdi ran better on 1/3rd veg ... 50/50 was ok in summer but slow starting when cold..

Apparently this alternative use is why Costco have a limit on how much veg oil you can buy..
