Hi Huw, Use 2% vegetable oil mixed with #1 diesel to equal the lubericating properties of #2D (USA fuel standards). This would keep injector and pump wear to a minimum. Raw Rapeseed oil (SVO) has a good btu content along with a couple University studys that mixed raw vegetable oil upto 50% without any harm to the engine.

Do a google search and read until your hearts content on using vegetable oil. Use caution tho at any mix over 25% SVO/#2D. T_Bone
