How to run your car on chip oil
seems like a lot of pissing about when new veg oil is cheap anyway
My instructor ran his car on veg oil or some kind of other oil sold at a farmhouse near him. When i was paying so much for lessons he had the cheek to run it on that stuff 
. It robbed performance, and smelt very bad as well.

*think* it HAS to be used veg oil.
I used to run the Multipla on bio diesel from here:

Worked fine, just need to replace fuel filter after first 1000 miles as it cleans your fuel tank of all its crap

most people report an increase in reponsiveness, RR's so no change in torque or power.
if i had a diesel i'd run it on 50:50 rapeseed and diesel, then you dont need to worry about preheating even in winter, just bang it in the tank and away you go. you can get pure rape seed oil delivered in bulk for cheap.
i buy biodiesel from down the road, works fine 82p litre and i cant tell the difference when driving, just takes a bit more to start it in the morning but it always fires up.
i saw a guy filling his car up in morrisons car park the other day his trolley was just full of veg oil or similar. my gf couldn't believe her eyes lol.

Just think what it is doing to your engine in the long run. If car makers designed cars to run on old oil, they would sell not only Diesel/Petrol/Hybrid models, but also 'oil' models.
Think how many of your engine parts it could be clogging up. After some of the stories round our end, i even touch the stuff.
Dont think it does, a bloke come in my shop before and bought a few bottles of oil, and went straight to his car and poured it in

yeah that coz you cook your chips in lard up north
We dont really have much chips up here.
I would rather have a jacket potato/mash/roast potatoes.
Taste far more interesting. Sortet potatoes are the best.

Yeah, its when you start getting to more modern engines that it starts to become 'non better' for your engines so to speak.

About 30 chip shops near you and another 400 if you travel 30 miles west

AFAIK general opinion is - if you have Bosch pump, go ahead. If it is Lucas, stay away from it.
The reason seems to be the material used for gaskets. Veg oil contains acids, which eat Lucas gaskets, but are harmless to Bosch ones.
I dunno, I am using petrol, planning LPG/CNG.
