QUOTE after all, you would'nt put cooking oil into your cars engine would you.
If you put it in the diesel tank you'll have Revenue and Customs coming after you for unpaid excise tax. It might not do the seals in the fuel lines much good either

I use a lubricating oil from Xacto which comes in a rather neat pen with a needle like tip.

Off topic (Sorry)
QUOTE 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.

That's an interesting update but due to your follow on comment...

QUOTE 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.

it gives me the feeling that the Revenue would love veggie oil users to coke up their engines as a more fitting punishment.

QUOTE Bio-fuel ring a bell?

A very big one but there's a lot FUD about whether "off the forecourt" diesels can use it without modification. I've been running a diesel MINI for just over 3 years and would love to run biodiesel but from what I've been able to find, BMW do NOT recommend using it. Instead I use BP Ultimate diesel and reckon that the extra mpg it gives is about "quits" with the extra cost.
