not so.
Veggie oil as a fuel is ok now...government have issued a decree announcing they will NOT pursue for fuel duty on veggie oil....as of this August....due to difficulties in, either recovering the duty, or even proving it.
Best stuff is Tesco's rape seed oil...added to one's diesel tank.
Seals are ok (you are thinking of old cars, produced when leaded fuel was rampant.....trying to use modern leadless fuel with the old seals..ie Triumph mechanical fuel injection?]
Modern diesels with ecu's, or 'common rail' engines don't like veggie fuel....because of coking issues..look at one's chip pan to see what I mean.
Old-design diesels, like peugeot's XUD engine, ie non-common rail, with mechanical inj. pumps, etc....Citroen BX diesel, for example....or Massey Fergusons...will run quite happily on veggie oil.....even better if you make/fit a fuel heater.
Bio-fuel ring a bell?
Massey Ferguson? Britain's answer to Harley Davidson?
For a model oil...try the LaBelle product range from the US of A?
not too sure about Peco's ''Electrolube???''
