Also look at http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/index.php it has loads of info on SVO and WVO !
You need to check that your fuel pump can take SVO/WVO!
Looked into producing BioDiesel myself a few months back

I know someone with a Mondeo diesel that tried it at a 50/50 mix and had no problems.

I assume your paying the correct amount of fuel duty on your vegetable oil, cus if your not it wouldn't be to clever to tell the whole world about your illegal tax avoidance now would it!!!
